What does a site EUI of 41.1 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. La Paz Plaza's 41.1 kBtu/ft² across 51,766 sq ft works out to about 2.1 billion Btu (624 MWh-equivalent) in 2019. The disclosure also reports 515,163 kWh of electricity and 3,815 therms of natural gas for the year.
