What does a site EUI of 107.0 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. 85 10th Ave's 107.0 kBtu/ft² across 642,653 sq ft works out to about 68.8 billion Btu (20,153 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 277.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
