What does a site EUI of 789.1 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. DPR_3596_Central Park: Tisch Children's Zoo's 789.1 kBtu/ft² across 1,400 sq ft works out to about 1.1 billion Btu (324 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 2209.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 323,799 kWh of electricity for the year.
