This was the default rating I received and I used this as a benchmark for the rest of the scenarios.

This is the kbtu/ft/yr rating I reached after simply changing the R-value of the roof to 38 and the schedule to 12/5.

After taking into consideration: Plug Load Efficiency, lighting efficiency and daylighting controls this was the result in EUI rating.

I was able to achieve 32.3 kbtu/ft/yr after significantly increasing the PV surface coverage, decreasing the infiltration rate, increasing the integrity of the thermal insulation of the walls and roof.
