APPENDIX II: SITE EUI TARGETS
Targets for the project’s building type(s) and climate zone are referenced to ASHRAE 100-2024, “Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings,” Addendum c, Appendix A, multiplying by the operating shift normalization factor (S) in ASHRAE 100-2024, Table 7-7. For projects with multiple building activities, targets shall be calculated using the weighted average of the targets for each building activity.
Targets are referenced to ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-1 (“Alternative Building Activity Site Energy Use Intensity Targets”); ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-3 (“Alternative Building Activity Electricity Site Energy Use Intensity Targets”); and/or ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-4 (“Alternative Building Activity Fossil-Fuel Site Energy Use Intensity Targets”).
Site energy use intensity (EUI) targets: ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-1
Source EUI targets: Calculate by multiplying the site EUI targets for fuel ( ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-4) and electricity ( ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-3) by the associated source-to-site ratios for natural gas and electricity.
Greenhouse gas emissions intensity targets: Calculate by multiplying the site EUI targets for fuel ( ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-4) and electricity ( ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-3) by the associated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) national CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions factors published for natural gas and electricity from the most recent published year.
On-site combustion emissions intensity targets: Calculate by multiplying the site EUI targets for fuel ( ASHRAE 100-2024, Table B-4) by the U.S. EPA national CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions factors published for natural gas.
