What does a site EUI of 26.5 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. 170 Forsyth St's 26.5 kBtu/ft² across 30,023 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (233 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 55.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 138,280 kWh of electricity, 3,245 therms of natural gas and 768 thousand gallons of water for the year.
