<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I don’t want to give you the
idea that knowing the site EUI at 52 kBtu/ft2/yr can’t be useful, but
off-hand I wouldn’t use that to differentiate between 5 points or 6
points for example. If you know how typical buildings of your type
perform you might be able to estimate in 3 or 4 point ranges, or some similar
resolution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

there a rule of thumb for using modeled site energy to indicate - calculate
