FREE BUILDING PERFORMANCE CHECK

How does your building compare?

Use twelve months of energy data to calculate site energy use intensity in ekWh/ft²·yr and make an initial comparison with a Canadian peer benchmark.

YOUR RESULT

Enter one year of building data.

The tool will calculate site energy use intensity in ekWh/ft²·yr and compare it with the Canadian national median for the selected property type.

How to use the result

This is a first screen, not an ENERGY STAR score, energy audit, code assessment, or investment recommendation. A fair comparison also depends on weather, occupancy, operating hours, mixed uses, data completeness, and other building characteristics.

Method and source

Site EUI equals annual electricity and natural-gas energy divided by gross floor area. Electricity is converted at 0.0036 GJ/kWh, natural gas at an indicative 0.0373 GJ/m³, and the resulting intensity at 25.808 ekWh/ft² per GJ/m². Peer values are site-EUI medians from the August 2023 Canadian National Median Reference Values for Portfolio Manager Property Types. Results are rounded and intended for screening.
