What does a site EUI of 7.2 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. BR - 340 East 59th Street's 7.2 kBtu/ft² across 52,500 sq ft works out to about 0.4 billion Btu (111 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 20.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 111,104 kWh of electricity and 126 thousand gallons of water for the year.
