What does a site EUI of 12.6 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. Red Hook Terminal - Primary Lot's 12.6 kBtu/ft² across 721,396 sq ft works out to about 9.1 billion Btu (2,664 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 32.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 2,269,788 kWh of electricity and 13,349 therms of natural gas for the year.
