What does a site EUI of 100.2 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. 47 Mercer Street's 100.2 kBtu/ft² across 31,000 sq ft works out to about 3.1 billion Btu (910 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 156.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 266,737 kWh of electricity, 21,950 therms of natural gas and 323 thousand gallons of water for the year.
