What does a site EUI of 86.0 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. WHITMAN's 86.0 kBtu/ft² across 1,349,100 sq ft works out to about 116 billion Btu (34,003 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 90.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,160,432 therms of natural gas for the year.
