What does a site EUI of 7.0 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. Aker's Volks-Porsche Repair's 7.0 kBtu/ft² across 22,320 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (46 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 13.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 24,498 kWh of electricity and 722 therms of natural gas for the year.
