What does a site EUI of 204.2 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 E 38th St/221 E 37th St's 204.2 kBtu/ft² across 719,945 sq ft works out to about 147 billion Btu (43,085 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 418.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 22,846,288 kWh of electricity for the year.
