What does a site EUI of 38.0 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. VINCA 68's 38.0 kBtu/ft² across 33,515 sq ft works out to about 1.3 billion Btu (373 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 67.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 153,972 kWh of electricity, 7,493 therms of natural gas and 754 thousand gallons of water for the year.
