What does a site EUI of 15.0 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. 1601 Pch's 15.0 kBtu/ft² across 138,542 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (609 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. The disclosure also reports 606,662 kWh of electricity for the year.
