What does a site EUI of 56.2 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. 202 W 1ST ST's 56.2 kBtu/ft² across 243,749 sq ft works out to about 13.7 billion Btu (4,015 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 157.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,738 thousand gallons of water for the year.
