❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. How accurate is this office energy calculator?It combines real input data (like kWh/year) with standardized emissions factors and building-specific efficiency profiles. While it's not a full audit, it gives a high-confidence estimate suitable for pre-assessments and strategy planning.
2. Can it work for co-working spaces or mixed-use buildings?Yes. Select “Co-working” or “Mixed Use” to apply the right multiplier adjustments. The calculator handles these variations well, accounting for diversity in use and energy profile.
3. What’s a good emissions benchmark for an office?Efficient buildings emit under 0.02 tonnes CO₂/m² annually. If you’re over 0.08, you’ve got significant retrofit opportunities—especially in HVAC and insulation.
4. What affects my energy efficiency score?Factors like HVAC system, lighting type, insulation, occupancy rate, and renewable energy all influence your score. The lower your emissions per square meter, the higher your grade.
5. Can I use this for reporting or certification?Yes—this calculator provides a solid estimate that supports green building certifications, internal ESG targets, or pre-audit planning. For formal certifications, use it as a starting point before commissioning a certified auditor.
