What does a site EUI of 24.6 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. 1946 SELBY AVE's 24.6 kBtu/ft² across 23,895 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (172 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 50.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 583 thousand gallons of water for the year.
