What does a site EUI of 23.8 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. 12950 PIERCE ST's 23.8 kBtu/ft² across 61,600 sq ft works out to about 1.5 billion Btu (430 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 60.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 379 thousand gallons of water for the year.
