What does a site EUI of 39.1 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. 251 E 6TH ST's 39.1 kBtu/ft² across 289,965 sq ft works out to about 11.3 billion Btu (3,323 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 90.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,690 thousand gallons of water for the year.
