36 Glossary • Energy Use Intensity(EUI) represents a building’s energy use in terms of its size. It is expressed in energy per square foot per year. A low EUI means a high energy performance, while a high EUI signifies a low energy performance. • Weather-normalized is a process by which data is cleaned. The data is processed to reflect energy use as it would have been if the weather experienced was the 30 year average temperatures. Weathernormalized data is used to eliminate outliers and to ensure that data can be compared. • Site EUI represents the total heat and electricity used by the building. It is a reflection of the energy bought directly for use at a building. • Source EUI represents the total amount of raw fuel that is needed for a building to operate. It is a reflection of the total energy consumed including that from delivery and production losses. Definitions pulled from EPA’s energy star website @DOEE_DC
