What does a site EUI of 38.1 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. 440 West 15th Street's 38.1 kBtu/ft² across 46,394 sq ft works out to about 1.8 billion Btu (518 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 83.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 336,191 kWh of electricity and 6,227 therms of natural gas for the year.
