It is the annual output energy of the equipment divided by its annual input energy, expressed in consistent units (i.e. Btu-out per Btu-in). Thus, the resultant value of AFUE is unit less. AFUE includes any input energy required by the pilot light but does not include any electrical energy for fans or pumps.
