      • EUI: Energy Use Intensity, Energy Used Per Year / Area

          • Computing a Baseline EUI for Comparison

          You can compute a Baseline EUI for your building based on the building use and location.  This will be useful for computing a Target EUI based on your reduction goals.  One useful tool for doing this is provided by Architecture 2030, and you can use it here:
