What does a site EUI of 8.6 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. 15 Washington Ave's 8.6 kBtu/ft² across 301,817 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (761 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 9.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 26,065 therms of natural gas for the year.
