EUI (Energy Use Intensity)

Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is a measurement that indicates how much energy a building uses in a year relative to its size, typically expressed in kilowatt-hours per square foot (kWh/ft²). Essentially, it helps evaluate a building's energy efficiency; lower EUI values suggest better energy performance. EUI is useful for comparing energy use across similar buildings or assessing the impact of energy-saving measures. By understanding EUI, building owners and managers can identify opportunities for improvement and reduce energy costs while minimizing their environmental footprint.
