What does a site EUI of 121.4 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. 9808 Medical Center Drive's 121.4 kBtu/ft² across 95,062 sq ft works out to about 11.5 billion Btu (3,382 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 287.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,542,749 kWh of electricity and 28,660 therms of natural gas for the year.
