What does a site EUI of 64.5 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. 49-70 31st Street's 64.5 kBtu/ft² across 30,228 sq ft works out to about 1.9 billion Btu (571 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 135.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 344,500 kWh of electricity, 7,750 therms of natural gas and 80 thousand gallons of water for the year.
