What does a site EUI of 173.0 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. 161 E 116th St's 173.0 kBtu/ft² across 3,649 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (185 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 350.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 103,277 kWh of electricity and 2,789 therms of natural gas for the year.
