What does a site EUI of 82.5 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. Fifth District Station's 82.5 kBtu/ft² across 43,955 sq ft works out to about 3.6 billion Btu (1,063 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 167.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 595,076 kWh of electricity, 12,225 therms of natural gas and 1,680 thousand gallons of water for the year.
