What does a site EUI of 23.4 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. Vida Apartments's 23.4 kBtu/ft² across 187,299 sq ft works out to about 4.4 billion Btu (1,284 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 51.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 858,272 kWh of electricity and 15,080 therms of natural gas for the year.
Which law requires Vida Apartments to report its energy use?
