Site energy is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills. Site energy may be delivered to a building in one of two forms: primary or secondary energy. Source energy represents the total amount of raw fuel that is required to operate the building. It incorporates all transmission, delivery, and production losses. By taking all energy use into account, it provides a complete assessment of energy efficiency in a building. Primary energy is the raw fuel that is burned to create heat and electricity. Secondary energy is the energy product (heat or electricity) created from a raw fuel, such as electricity purchased from the grid or heat received from a district steam system.
