What does a site EUI of 76.9 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. 8 W 125 St's 76.9 kBtu/ft² across 26,100 sq ft works out to about 2 billion Btu (588 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 168.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 381,549 kWh of electricity for the year.
