What does a site EUI of 17.4 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. Tryad:236 GREENPOINT's 17.4 kBtu/ft² across 422,650 sq ft works out to about 7.4 billion Btu (2,155 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 43.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,763,157 kWh of electricity and 13,302 therms of natural gas for the year.
