Energy intensity
Term · Energy · MLC-T-ENE-000682
A ratio of energy consumption to another metric, typically national gross domestic product in the case of a country's energy intensity. Sector-specific intensities may refer to energy consumption per household, per unit of commercial floorspace, per dollar value industrial shipment, or another metric indicative of a sector. Improvements in energy intensity include energy efficiency and conservation as well as structural factors not related to technology or behavior.
(Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey) The ratio of consumption to floor space.
