What does a site EUI of 5.5 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. 620 12th Avenue's 5.5 kBtu/ft² across 102,800 sq ft works out to about 0.6 billion Btu (166 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 15.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 166,768 kWh of electricity and 32 thousand gallons of water for the year.
