What does a site EUI of 354.6 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. 9900 Medical Center Drive's 354.6 kBtu/ft² across 42,787 sq ft works out to about 15.2 billion Btu (4,447 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 669.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
