What does a site EUI of 354.8 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. WICAL's 354.8 kBtu/ft² across 39,150 sq ft works out to about 13.9 billion Btu (4,071 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 760.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,544,315 kWh of electricity, 52,096 therms of natural gas and 1,421 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires WICAL to report its energy use?
