What does a site EUI of 168.9 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. 30-02 48th Avenue's 168.9 kBtu/ft² across 140,569 sq ft works out to about 23.7 billion Btu (6,958 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 327.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,544,069 kWh of electricity, 116,532 therms of natural gas and 993 thousand gallons of water for the year.
