What does a site EUI of 22.4 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. University Forum's 22.4 kBtu/ft² across 64,115 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (421 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 22.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 646 thousand gallons of water for the year.
