Maybe add a filter to the building list by what they produces ( i'have a shortage of energy, filter by energy output and bam , find )
Viewing post in [comments/discussion]
building UI search bar can find some embedded info like production rates but it needs a mouse-only version of that like little filtering/sorting buttons near search, or if you click the top bar resource icon to auto-search for that production
search limitation is how typing 'energy' will find descriptions saying "does not require energy".
(realistically many descriptions/tooltips are redundant from older lack of UI in various places)
