What does a site EUI of 13.8 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. 256 Greenpoint Avenue's 13.8 kBtu/ft² across 434,500 sq ft works out to about 6 billion Btu (1,757 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 38.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,763,599 kWh of electricity for the year.
