What does a site EUI of 192.0 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. Harlem's 192.0 kBtu/ft² across 82,703 sq ft works out to about 15.9 billion Btu (4,654 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 264.5 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 952,997 kWh of electricity, 4,633 therms of natural gas and 6,136 thousand gallons of water for the year.
