What does a site EUI of 130.2 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. 301 S WESTERN AVE's 130.2 kBtu/ft² across 21,529 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (822 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 243.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 878 thousand gallons of water for the year.
