What does a site EUI of 12.9 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. Rhode Island Ave Self Storage's 12.9 kBtu/ft² across 47,000 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (178 MWh-equivalent) in 2017. Its source EUI of 40.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 177,399 kWh of electricity, 0 therms of natural gas and 87 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Rhode Island Ave Self Storage to report its energy use?
