Energy Use Intensity

Energy Use Intensity (EUI) measures how much energy a building consumes relative to its size, typically expressed as energy per square foot or meter per year. It helps compare the energy efficiency of different buildings by providing a standardized metric. For example, a building with a lower EUI uses less energy per unit of space, indicating better efficiency. EUI considers all energy sources, including electricity, heating, and cooling, offering a clear overview of a building's energy performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
