What does a site EUI of 77.0 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. CBS-530's 77.0 kBtu/ft² across 401,649 sq ft works out to about 30.9 billion Btu (9,064 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 215.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 9,060,652 kWh of electricity and 35,625 thousand gallons of water for the year.
