What does a site EUI of 81.8 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. 2013 H Street NW's 81.8 kBtu/ft² across 33,266 sq ft works out to about 2.7 billion Btu (797 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 228.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 796,456 kWh of electricity, 29 therms of natural gas and 325 thousand gallons of water for the year.
