What does a site EUI of 28.3 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. 198 West Street's 28.3 kBtu/ft² across 104,200 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (864 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 54.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 425,934 kWh of electricity and 14,961 therms of natural gas for the year.
