What does a site EUI of 75.7 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. Center for Business and Industry's 75.7 kBtu/ft² across 99,750 sq ft works out to about 7.6 billion Btu (2,213 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 203.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,780,126 kWh of electricity and 4,320 therms of natural gas for the year.
