What does a site EUI of 165.1 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. Zabar's's 165.1 kBtu/ft² across 40,483 sq ft works out to about 6.7 billion Btu (1,959 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 379.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,398,498 kWh of electricity, 19,101 therms of natural gas and 2,829 thousand gallons of water for the year.
