What does a site EUI of 112.4 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. NY Motherhouse's 112.4 kBtu/ft² across 45,185 sq ft works out to about 5.1 billion Btu (1,488 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 213.3 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 720,920 kWh of electricity, 26,212 therms of natural gas and 3,591 thousand gallons of water for the year.
