What does a site EUI of 61.4 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. Milken Center's 61.4 kBtu/ft² across 296,072 sq ft works out to about 18.2 billion Btu (5,328 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 147.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 4,096,890 kWh of electricity, 41,881 therms of natural gas and 3,332 thousand gallons of water for the year.
