What does a site EUI of 27.4 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. Market Center (555)'s 27.4 kBtu/ft² across 342,238 sq ft works out to about 9.4 billion Btu (2,748 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 60.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,604,767 kWh of electricity for the year.
