What does a site EUI of 25.0 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. Starts Plaza's 25.0 kBtu/ft² across 35,217 sq ft works out to about 0.9 billion Btu (258 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. The disclosure also reports 257,779 kWh of electricity and 258 thousand gallons of water for the year.
