Kilowatt hours per square foot calculator

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the total energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the first input field.
2. Enter the total square footage (sq ft) in the second input field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the energy consumption per square foot.
4. The result will be displayed in the designated field, showing how much energy is consumed per square foot.

Principle and Applications

The Kilowatt hours per square foot calculator helps you evaluate the energy efficiency of a space. This metric is particularly useful in commercial buildings, office spaces, and residential properties to understand energy consumption patterns per unit area.

For example, if a 1,000 sq ft office space consumes 10,000 kWh of energy in a month, the energy consumption per square foot would be 10 kWh/sq ft. This value can then be compared with industry benchmarks to assess energy efficiency.

Interpreting Results

A lower value of kWh/sq ft indicates better energy efficiency, while a higher value suggests areas where energy conservation measures could be implemented. Building managers and facility administrators can use this calculator to identify high-energy-consumption areas and implement targeted energy-saving strategies.
