What does a site EUI of 72.2 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. 2 Lexington Avenue's 72.2 kBtu/ft² across 188,933 sq ft works out to about 13.6 billion Btu (3,998 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 112.4 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 986,577 kWh of electricity and 9,717 thousand gallons of water for the year.
