What does a site EUI of 21.6 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. 295 5th Ave's 21.6 kBtu/ft² across 771,659 sq ft works out to about 16.7 billion Btu (4,885 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 44.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,748,205 kWh of electricity, 73,266 therms of natural gas and 1,110 thousand gallons of water for the year.
