What does a site EUI of 78.3 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. 1203 W 7TH ST's 78.3 kBtu/ft² across 82,613 sq ft works out to about 6.5 billion Btu (1,896 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 163.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,878 thousand gallons of water for the year.
