What does a site EUI of 230.1 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. 178 Wilson Avenue's 230.1 kBtu/ft² across 5,220 sq ft works out to about 1.2 billion Btu (352 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 441.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 174,284 kWh of electricity and 6,065 therms of natural gas for the year.
