What does a site EUI of 86.1 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. 43-05 20th Avenue's 86.1 kBtu/ft² across 33,200 sq ft works out to about 2.9 billion Btu (838 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 159.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 386,000 kWh of electricity, 15,409 therms of natural gas and 145 thousand gallons of water for the year.
