WHERE DO WE NEED TO BE?

EUI is expressed as energy per square meter per year. It is calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kWh) by the total ﬂoor area of the building. The most common unit for EUI is kWh/m2/year.

Spatial Daylight Autonomy (SDA) describes the percentage of ﬂoor area that receives at least 300 lux for at least 50% of the annual occupied hours.

Annual Solar Exposure (ASE) refers to the percentage of space that receives too much direct sunlight (1000 Lux or more for at least 250 occupied hours per year), which can cause glare or increased cooling loads.
