What does a site EUI of 94.4 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. THE BADER CONDO's 94.4 kBtu/ft² across 51,614 sq ft works out to about 4.9 billion Btu (1,428 MWh-equivalent) in 2013. Its source EUI of 172.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 528,417 kWh of electricity, 30,718 therms of natural gas and 2,530,434 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires THE BADER CONDO to report its energy use?
