What does a site EUI of 117.4 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. 450 E TEMPLE ST's 117.4 kBtu/ft² across 34,858 sq ft works out to about 4.1 billion Btu (1,199 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 257.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,239 thousand gallons of water for the year.
