What does a site EUI of 41.7 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. 1841 Columbia Road's 41.7 kBtu/ft² across 120,650 sq ft works out to about 5 billion Btu (1,474 MWh-equivalent) in 2014. Its source EUI of 106.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,060,008 kWh of electricity, 14,109 therms of natural gas and 4,684 thousand gallons of water for the year.
