What does a site EUI of 97.4 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. 159 Bleecker Street's 97.4 kBtu/ft² across 28,380 sq ft works out to about 2.8 billion Btu (810 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 200.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 468,024 kWh of electricity, 11,671 therms of natural gas and 3,821 thousand gallons of water for the year.
