What does a site EUI of 45.3 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. 543 Broadway's 45.3 kBtu/ft² across 54,054 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (718 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 78.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 290,673 kWh of electricity, 34 therms of natural gas and 449 thousand gallons of water for the year.
