What does a site EUI of 55.3 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. 247 Third Avenue's 55.3 kBtu/ft² across 32,975 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (534 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 136.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 434,958 kWh of electricity, 3,408 therms of natural gas and 1,670 thousand gallons of water for the year.
