What does a site EUI of 8.3 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. CubeSmart - #106's 8.3 kBtu/ft² across 106,000 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (258 MWh-equivalent) in 2021. Its source EUI of 18.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 169,019 kWh of electricity, 3,042 therms of natural gas and 63 thousand gallons of water for the year.
