Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Total Annual Site Energy Consumption = 420000
- Gross Floor Area = 8400
Expected Result:
- Building Energy Use Intensity (EUI) = 50
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Building Energy Use Intensity (EUI) = 50 kWh/m².
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
