What does a site EUI of 14.2 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. 515 W 43 St's 14.2 kBtu/ft² across 33,000 sq ft works out to about 0.5 billion Btu (137 MWh-equivalent) in 2023. Its source EUI of 39.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 137,276 kWh of electricity and 55 thousand gallons of water for the year.
