FAQs 6

What is site energy?

You’re probably already familiar with site energy, which is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills. Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time.

Why is site energy important?

Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time. Site energy may be delivered to a building in one of two forms: primary or secondary energy. Primary energy is the raw fuel that is burned to create heat and electricity, such as natural gas or fuel oil used in onsite generation.

What is the difference between source energy and site energy?

Source energy, on the other hand, takes into account the entire train of power from creation to distribution and through to the use of energy by the consumer, which we know as site energy. Source energy includes the site energy plus all of the energy used to provide and distribute the site energy.

What is a site energy measurement?

For buildings that purchase raw fuel (such as natural gas) and convert it to power on-site, a site energy measurement would account for the losses that occur during this conversion, because site energy is based on the fuel that is purchased.

Why is source energy less efficient than site energy?

The power generation, transmission, and delivery of source energy to the site results in losses. As a result, source energy is nearly always less efficient than site energy. This is important to understand when considering how efficiently energy is consumed, as well as the emissions impacts of energy consumption.

What is a site energy score?

It incorporates all transmission, delivery, and production losses. By taking all energy use into account, the score provides a complete assessment of energy efficiency in a building. You’re probably already familiar with site energy, which is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills.
