What does a site EUI of 8.4 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. SnL Avenue M's 8.4 kBtu/ft² across 96,568 sq ft works out to about 0.8 billion Btu (238 MWh-equivalent) in 2022. Its source EUI of 18.0 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 147,925 kWh of electricity and 185 thousand gallons of water for the year.
