What does a site EUI of 19.8 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. 865 S FIGUEROA ST's 19.8 kBtu/ft² across 806,391 sq ft works out to about 16 billion Btu (4,679 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 55.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,790 thousand gallons of water for the year.
