What does a site EUI of 49.9 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. Ready Reserve Garage's 49.9 kBtu/ft² across 14,839 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (217 MWh-equivalent) in 2018. Its source EUI of 77.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 61,735 kWh of electricity and 5,294 therms of natural gas for the year.
