Energy Use Intensity (EUI)

Needs a little more detail

Energy Use Intensity is a measurement that describes a building’s annual energy consumption relative to the building’s gross square footage. To date, this term is most often used as an expression of an existing building’s actual, metered energy consumption, or as a comparative average, which is derived from a data set of metered information for a particular building use type in a specific location. Both of these uses of EUI are based on real, measured building energy use data.

EUI can be relative to either site or source energy.
