Energy use intensity overview
Energy use intensity provides trend analysis for up to ten years and is found on the normalization tab in the Sites and Meters module.
EUI calculations use the total commodity use divided by the total site area.
Energy Use Intensity facts
- Plots all energy commodities for the site or organization (excluding water, refuse, etc.).
- Provides a rolling 12-month average trend line.
- This helps minimize effects caused by seasonality.
- Each data point is the sum of global use for the prior 12 months divided by the maximum floor area for the site or organization in the same 12 month period.
- A 12-month average EUI is essentially the same basis used by the EPA for ENERGY STAR ratings.
- Remove any commodity from the chart by clicking the commodity color in the legend.
- Limits data shown with date sliders, the slider is available after 5 years of data is available.
- Shows a trend line after 18 months of data exist.
Commodity energy use (colored bars) is expressed in global units (KBtu or MMBtu). Typically these settings are configured during the initial setup.
