What does a site EUI of 4.9 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. 5500 WILSHIRE BLVD's 4.9 kBtu/ft² across 77,005 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (111 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 13.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 46 thousand gallons of water for the year.
