What does a site EUI of 22.3 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. Villa Anita Apts's 22.3 kBtu/ft² across 20,383 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (133 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 62.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 133,376 kWh of electricity for the year.
Which law requires Villa Anita Apts to report its energy use?
