Energy Use Intensity per GSF

The Energy Use Intensity per GSF scenario metric calculates the efficiency of energy use intensity per GSF for the scenario.

Item Description
Name Energy Use Intensity per GSF
Metric category Environmental
Metric objective Calculate the efficiency of energy use intensity per GSF for the scenario
Measurement

Total Energy Use / Total Gross Area

Total Energy Use = For a proposed location (lease or owned), the system uses the Estimated Total Annual Energy Use per GSF field from the selected Building Class to calculate the Estimated Annual Energy Use; for an existing building or an existing lease, the system maps the Annual Energy Use field to the Supply Summary.

Total Gross Area = The sum of the Supply Summary’s Gross Area field; includes leased, owned, and proposed locations; includes only records that are in the current focus period.
