KPI Name Public Building Energy Consumption
KPI No. EN: E: E: 4A Type: Core Type: Sustainable

Definition / Energy consumption of public buildings
Description

Rationale / Buildings can account for a significant proportion of the energy use, GHG emissions
Interpretation / and resource use within a city. Energy efficiency and energy reduction in buildings
Benchmarking can reduce GHG emissions, conserve resource and mitigate against climate change.
Energy consumption shall include electricity, fuel oil, natural gas, steam and other
forms of thermal energy.
Thermal energy should be converted to the equivalent kWh.
Low values should be pursued.
A declining trend is positive.
Methodology Calculate as:
Numerator: Total energy consumption by public buildings (ekWh/yr).
2
Denominator: Total floor space of public buildings (m ).
2
Unit ekWh / m / year
Data Sources / Data can be collected from municipal facilities departments and local utilities.
