What does a site EUI of 38.0 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. 30-15 48th Avenue's 38.0 kBtu/ft² across 67,690 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (754 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 69.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 330,316 kWh of electricity, 14,484 therms of natural gas and 156 thousand gallons of water for the year.
