What does a site EUI of 23.5 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. 2606 Benvenue Ave's 23.5 kBtu/ft² across 29,868 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (206 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 34.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 50,452 kWh of electricity and 5,303 therms of natural gas for the year.
