Illustrative EUI Comparison
Calculate site EUI and place it against fixed illustrative quartile bands. This is a screening sketch only — not a building energy benchmark against a real surveyed dataset.
P25 / Median / P75 = 80 / 140 / 220 kWh/m²·yr are fixed illustrative constants. They do not change with your project inputs. No public survey, sample size, certification, or audited dataset is claimed.
Fixed illustrative bands: P25=80 · Median=140 · P75=220 kWh/m²·yr
Engineering example
An office with 1,000 m² and 140,000 kWh/year has an EUI of 140 kWh/m²·yr — near the illustrative median (140). Investigate weather, schedules, occupancy, metering boundaries and system condition before interpreting performance.
Method & limitations
Illustrative EUI comparison only. It does not replace an energy audit, calibrated simulation, code review or utility bill verification.
Formulas, source and scope
Site EUI = annual site kWh / conditioned floor area m². The illustrative bands are fixed at 80 / 140 / 220 kWh/m²·yr.
Formula source: site illustrative constants in TOOL-009. Not a surveyed dataset and not a named benchmarking standard.
FAQ
Is 140 kWh/m²·yr a survey median?
No. It is a fixed illustrative constant. The 1,000 m² and 140,000 kWh case lands on that constant by arithmetic only.
Can I edit sample size or the source citation?
No. Those fields are not user inputs, so the page cannot be turned into a fake survey record.
