What does a site EUI of 44.9 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. 901 ESSEX STREET's 44.9 kBtu/ft² across 37,000 sq ft works out to about 1.7 billion Btu (487 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 65.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 116,031 kWh of electricity, 12,661 therms of natural gas and 654 thousand gallons of water for the year.
