What does a site EUI of 23.6 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. Hanover Courts's 23.6 kBtu/ft² across 59,332 sq ft works out to about 1.4 billion Btu (410 MWh-equivalent) in 2013. Its source EUI of 65.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 338,333 kWh of electricity, 2,457 therms of natural gas and 1,852 thousand gallons of water for the year.
