What does a site EUI of 2.4 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. 1140 Ringwood Ct's 2.4 kBtu/ft² across 52,440 sq ft works out to about 0.1 billion Btu (37 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 6.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 36,969 kWh of electricity, 12 therms of natural gas and 734 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires 1140 Ringwood Ct to report its energy use?
