What does a site EUI of 39.1 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. Chevy Chase Metro Center's 39.1 kBtu/ft² across 49,175 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (564 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 103.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 509,966 kWh of electricity, 1,826 therms of natural gas and 263 thousand gallons of water for the year.
