What does a site EUI of 23.1 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. 125 LAKE AVENUE's 23.1 kBtu/ft² across 166,543 sq ft works out to about 3.8 billion Btu (1,127 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 51.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 754,197 kWh of electricity and 12,729 therms of natural gas for the year.
