myEUI Information

myEUI is a passion project founded by two tech enthusiasts with hopes to do some good in the world. The vision of myEUI is to bring an identity to buildings’ operational energy efficiency. 40% of the world’s energy use is due to building operations contributing to a significant environmental impact. An automobile’s operational efficiency is commonly understood by MPG – miles per gallon (or KPL – Kilometers per liter). Our body fat is commonly understood by BMI – Body Mass Index. What about a building’s operational energy efficiency? A number of factors impact a building’s operational energy efficiency including local climate, building systems, occupant usage patterns etc. To compare such efficiency between buildings we need a common language. Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of a building provides that framework. EUI is the total amount of energy used by the building in a year per unit area of the building. By personalizing EUI and crowdsourcing myEUI, we hope to bring this identity to buildings’ operational energy efficiency.
