What does a site EUI of 54.4 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. 300 West 14th Street's 54.4 kBtu/ft² across 47,229 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (753 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 139.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 648,510 kWh of electricity, 3,573 therms of natural gas and 1,278 thousand gallons of water for the year.
