What does a site EUI of 25.5 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. 272 MORGAN AVENUE's 25.5 kBtu/ft² across 188,784 sq ft works out to about 4.8 billion Btu (1,411 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 55.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 892,577 kWh of electricity, 17,776 therms of natural gas and 154 thousand gallons of water for the year.
