612.1.2 Actual Energy Use Intensity (EUI

Green Construction Code 2015 > 6 Energy Conservation, Efficiency and Co2e Emission Reduction > 612 Outcome-Based Pathway Requirements > 612.1 Outcome-Based Requirements > 612.1.2 Actual Energy Use Intensity (EUI
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
a).
The actual energy use intensity (EUIa) of the building and building site shall be expressed in accordance with this section. On-site renewable energy generation in excess of the generation requirements of Section 610 shall be included in the calculation of the EUIa.

The EUIa shall be determined in accordance with Equation 6-7 and Sections 612.1.2.1.



where:

EUIa = the energy use intensity of the building and building site.
AEUconsumption = the annual energy consumed by the building and building site from all forms of energy specified in Sections 603.3.1 through 603.3.6 and converted to source Btus in accordance with Section 602.2.1.2.
AEUrenewable = the annual energy produced by onsite renewable energy systems in excess of the production required by Section 610 and converted to source Btus by multiplying onsite Btu production by a factor of 1.
TCFA = the total conditioned floor area of the building.

612.1.2.1 Measurement of Aeus

The AEUs shall be determined from metering, utility billing or other form of measurement in accordance with Section 603.
