Which of the following is a measure of energy use intensity?
A: The amount of electricity a photovoltaic system can produce
B: Daylighting
C: The efficiency of an HVAC system
D: Energy consumed per unit of floor space

参考答案: D

本题解释:
D:’A study by the New Buildings Institute found that in green buildings, average energy use intensities (energy consumed per unit of floor space) are 24% lower than in typical buildings.’ - USGBC

When a building is benchmarked and compared to other buildings, one of the key metrics is energy use intensity, or EUI. Essentially, the EUI expresses a building’s energy use as a function of its size or other characteristics.

EUI is measured as: kBtu / sf / yr

Some property types are more energy intensive than others

Generally, a low EUI signifies good energy performance.

However, certain property types will always use more energy than others. For example, an elementary school uses relatively little energy compared to a hospital.
