What does a site EUI of 50.5 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. 8000 Cooper Avenue's 50.5 kBtu/ft² across 1,004,200 sq ft works out to about 50.7 billion Btu (14,862 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 141.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 14,854,578 kWh of electricity for the year.
