What does a site EUI of 9.0 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. 301 8th Street's 9.0 kBtu/ft² across 72,324 sq ft works out to about 0.7 billion Btu (191 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 15.6 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 74,900 kWh of electricity and 3,947 therms of natural gas for the year.
