What does a site EUI of 1.0 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. 500 Indiana St's 1.0 kBtu/ft² across 157,094 sq ft works out to about 0.2 billion Btu (46 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 2.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 47,936 kWh of electricity for the year.
