How many miles per gallon does your home get?
Homes have a simple performance ratio called Energy Use Intensity (EUI). It shows how much energy a home uses per square foot each year.
This free Energy Performance Snapshot helps you understand how a home compares to others like it and to recognize high-performance reference levels. It gives context before decisions are made.

How to read the results
Lower Energy Use Intensity generally means lower operating costs, more stable indoor temperatures, and less stress on mechanical systems. Higher values often indicate air leakage, insulation gaps, or aging assemblies.
Most performance differences come from the building envelope, not appliances.
What this snapshot is and is not
This snapshot is not an inspection, audit, or prediction of future utility bills. It does not recommend upgrades or assess code compliance. It provides context so buyers and owners understand relative efficiency and comfort risk.
