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 is the amount of primary energy consumed in supplying secondary energy to a building. 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.

What is the difference between total site energy and net site energy?

Total Site Energy, also known as 'gross' energy, is the energy consumed by the building site in total. Net Site Energy, on the other hand, is the final energy consumed by the building site after accounting for any on-site energy generation, such as photovoltaics or generators.
