What does a site EUI of 39.2 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. 240-250 Jay Street's 39.2 kBtu/ft² across 51,026 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (586 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 82.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 353,951 kWh of electricity and 507 thousand gallons of water for the year.
