Formula

site EUI=annual delivered kWh/gross floor area.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • All fuels must first be converted to kWh and summed. Site energy, not source energy; no weather or occupancy normalization.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Annual delivered energy: 120000 kWh
  • Gross floor area: 1000 m²

120,000 kWh across 1000 m² equals 120 kWh/m² per year.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter annual delivered energy, gross floor area. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

site EUI=annual delivered kWh/gross floor area.. All fuels must first be converted to kWh and summed. Site energy, not source energy; no weather or occupancy normalization.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
