What does a site EUI of 197.9 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. Ed Sullivan Theater's 197.9 kBtu/ft² across 105,950 sq ft works out to about 21 billion Btu (6,145 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 494.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 5,023,419 kWh of electricity and 16,240 therms of natural gas for the year.
