What does a site EUI of 57.8 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. Richmond Ave's 57.8 kBtu/ft² across 44,365 sq ft works out to about 2.6 billion Btu (752 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 146.9 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 640,867 kWh of electricity, 3,764 therms of natural gas and 128 thousand gallons of water for the year.
