What does a site EUI of 79.9 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. 585 Gerard Avenue's 79.9 kBtu/ft² across 50,000 sq ft works out to about 4 billion Btu (1,171 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 97.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 117,747 kWh of electricity and 119 thousand gallons of water for the year.
