What does a site EUI of 65.4 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. Aloft Chelsea's 65.4 kBtu/ft² across 103,586 sq ft works out to about 6.8 billion Btu (1,985 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 163.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,636,649 kWh of electricity and 11,941 therms of natural gas for the year.
