What does a site EUI of 48.5 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. 32 West 20th Street's 48.5 kBtu/ft² across 51,480 sq ft works out to about 2.5 billion Btu (732 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 77.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 227,052 kWh of electricity and 17,145 therms of natural gas for the year.
