What does a site EUI of 136.0 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 Union Club's 136.0 kBtu/ft² across 87,047 sq ft works out to about 11.8 billion Btu (3,469 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 265.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,666,154 kWh of electricity and 11,140 therms of natural gas for the year.
