What does a site EUI of 25.7 kBtu/ft² mean?
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. St. Joseph's College's 25.7 kBtu/ft² across 59,800 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (450 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 68.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 411,281 kWh of electricity, 1,315 therms of natural gas and 768 thousand gallons of water for the year.
