What does a site EUI of 13.9 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. 5941 S WESTERN AVE's 13.9 kBtu/ft² across 47,613 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (194 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 38.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 35 thousand gallons of water for the year.
