What does a site EUI of 26.6 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. 642 BEDFORD AVENUE's 26.6 kBtu/ft² across 31,900 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (249 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 48.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 107,938 kWh of electricity and 4,817 therms of natural gas for the year.
