In California, 65% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. Fickett Towers's 157.6 kBtu/ft² across 94,961 sq ft works out to about 15 billion Btu (4,386 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. The disclosure also reports 1,600,077 kWh of electricity and 95,106 therms of natural gas for the year.
