What does a site EUI of 206.6 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. 660 1st Avenue's 206.6 kBtu/ft² across 108,821 sq ft works out to about 22.5 billion Btu (6,589 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 440.8 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 3,839,039 kWh of electricity and 5,662 thousand gallons of water for the year.
