Total energy consumption (kWh/yr) - Vehicle Level
Definition:
Energy consumed during the operational phase of a building. This includes the landlord controlled and the tenant controlled actual and estimated energy consumption.
Additional Guidance:
This indicator aggregates the actual and estimated energy use reported under ESG3.1, ESG3.1.1, ESG3.1.3 and ESG3.1.3.1, expressed in kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. Refer to those indicators for details on control type and actual vs estimated data treatment.
It is aligned with GRESB and supports the assessment of overall energy demand. It also serves as the input for derived performance metrics such as energy intensity (ESG3.1.6) and Scope 1–3 GHG emissions (ESG3.3, ESG3.3.2, ESG3.3.4).
This indicator is one of the six environmental factors considered most relevant for underwriting (see INREV (2025) Integrating environmental considerations in real estate underwriting paper).
Gross energy demand includes all energy consumed by the building regardless of source: energy imported from the grid and energy generated on-site and consumed on-site (eg rooftop solar self-consumption). Both components should be included, where data is accessible, in ESG3.1 and ESG3.1.1, and reported separately where possible under ESG3.2 and AL3.3.
Energy generated on-site and exported to the grid is not part of the building's gross energy demand and should be excluded from this indicator. It should be reported separately under AL3.2 (Renewable energy generated on-site and exported by landlord (kWh/yr)).
Where rooftop solar or other on-site renewable assets are installed and operated by the tenant or a third party, the landlord may not have access to self-consumption or generation data. In these cases, full disaggregation may not be achievable. Disclosure of this data access limitation is sufficient; reporters should state which components were available and which could not be obtained.
Note 1: Energy consumed by HVAC and other building systems should be included where it forms part of operational energy consumption. Fugitive refrigerant emissions are not energy consumption and should therefore be excluded from this indicator; where applicable, they should be reported under the relevant GHG emissions indicator.
Note 2: For the treatment of EV charging energy, see ESG3.1. The same approach applies to the total energy figure reported here.
