What does a site EUI of 62.2 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. 28 JFK Street's 62.2 kBtu/ft² across 25,668 sq ft works out to about 1.6 billion Btu (468 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 76.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 46,842 kWh of electricity, 14,360 therms of natural gas and 1,642 thousand gallons of water for the year.
