What does a site EUI of 110.2 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.

Its source EUI of 292.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
