What does a site EUI of 147.4 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. 196 Elizabeth Street's 147.4 kBtu/ft² across 11,850 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (512 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 215.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 121,442 kWh of electricity and 13,319 therms of natural gas for the year.
