Total cooling coil electric energy or end use cooling energy- demand or consumption?

What do the values for heating/cooling in EP results correspond to- energy demand or consumption? The description says that it stands for cooling energy needed”. However, needed does give any clarity.

I thought it refers to consumption. However, when I added the monthly cooling coil electric data from an energy simulation CSV output (for an office building of 420 sq m area), the final value (404,983.0192 Kwh) seems too large for a 400 sq. m building to be able to consume in a year. This is based on the context that the annual average electricity consumption is around 160 Kwh/ sqm and thus for the concerned building total consumption should be something around: 160 X420 = 67,000.
