Energy Use Intensity Proposed (EUIp)

Ready

Energy Use Intensity Proposed (EUIp) describes the energy use for a project based on modeled source energy. Being source-based, rather than site-based, it includes energy generation and transmission losses and is therefore a better prediction of the total energy footprint of your project than pEUI. EUIp equals the source kBtu per year divided by the project’s square footage.

[EUIp = source kBtu/sf-yr]

This is the reference data currently required by the International Green Construction Code.
