What does a site EUI of 56.7 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. 226 East 54th Street's 56.7 kBtu/ft² across 31,105 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (517 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 158.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 516,900 kWh of electricity and 1,436 thousand gallons of water for the year.
