What does a site EUI of 127.2 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. The Barclay's 127.2 kBtu/ft² across 287,756 sq ft works out to about 36.6 billion Btu (10,727 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 191.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,807,029 kWh of electricity and 270,142 therms of natural gas for the year.
