What does a site EUI of 69.3 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. 649 39th Street's 69.3 kBtu/ft² across 35,200 sq ft works out to about 2.4 billion Btu (715 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 121.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 287,534 kWh of electricity, 14,587 therms of natural gas and 134 thousand gallons of water for the year.
