[Equest-users] Total Site versus Total Source Energy BEPS

[Jackson, Alan]

The Site is your building model. Source takes in to account losses and
inefficiencies in delivery of energy from the source "plant", and hence
reflects energy used at that source. If all energy was on site, they
should be equal.

I have noticed these two lines on my BEPS report.  Which number
accurately reflects the energy consumption of my building?  What is the
difference between the two?  If all of my energy was generated on site
would the numbers be equal?

 

 

 

TOTAL SITE ENERGY      2517.74 MBTU     29.0 KBTU/SQFT-YR GROSS-AREA
29.0 KBTU/SQFT-YR NET-AREA

TOTAL SOURCE ENERGY    4867.80 MBTU     56.0 KBTU/SQFT-YR GROSS-AREA
56.0 KBTU/SQFT-YR NET-AREA

 

 

Thank you,
