What does a site EUI of 25.1 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.

Its source EUI of 54.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 144,040 kWh of electricity and 2,822 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Grandview Plaza Condominium to report its energy use?
