Energy use intensity (EUI) in buildings varies due to many factors. Provided the empirical data, such variability is commonly measured and illustrated by an Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (ECDF). For example, the illustration below shows ECDFs for various building types in Oslo.
By comparing ECDFs of various subsets of data, our article suggests a way to tell if certain technical measures have an effect on building energy performance. Check it out!
