Portfolio Manager Technical Reference: U.S. National Energy Use Intensity
Last Updated: 08-28-2018
When you benchmark your building in Portfolio Manager, one of the key metrics you’ll see is energy use intensity, or EUI. Essentially, the EUI expresses a building’s energy use as a function of its size or other characteristics.
For most property types in Portfolio Manager, the EUI is expressed as energy per square foot per year. It’s calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu or GJ) by the total gross floor area of the building.
The reference table in Portfolio Manager Technical Reference: U.S. National Energy Use Intensity is designed to help you to compare your property’s energy use to the national median (or mid-point) energy use of similar properties.
