In New York City, 43% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.
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. 342 7th Ave's 367.2 kBtu/ft² across 15,040 sq ft works out to about 5.5 billion Btu (1,619 MWh-equivalent) in 2024.
