What does a site EUI of 62.4 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. 52 Thomas Street's 62.4 kBtu/ft² across 68,514 sq ft works out to about 4.3 billion Btu (1,253 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 111.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 529,355 kWh of electricity, 24,704 therms of natural gas and 1,215 thousand gallons of water for the year.
