What does a site EUI of 79.7 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. Hope Center's 79.7 kBtu/ft² across 32,000 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (747 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 191.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 575,314 kWh of electricity, 5,710 therms of natural gas and 3,396 thousand gallons of water for the year.
