<p class=MsoNormal>I have developed a baseline building and calculated its
energy use index (EUI), total source building btu use divided by building
square footage, and I am curious to compare it to other models. Obviously
since many users on this list are from very different climate zones, we will
get some varying answers. However, I would still be interested to see
what kind of use different buildings are characterized by, especially in
Michigan. Or, if any of you know a resource that I can use to reference
this type of information, I’d be grateful.<o:p></o:p></p>
