- 21. FAQ: Shared office space You need: • Square metres (sqm)/feet (sqf) of your office space • Square metres/feet of entire building • kWh/m3 for entire building ⇒ Work out percentage of total building space you occupy ⇒ Use that percentage to estimate just your own usage from the total
- 22. Worked example • You occupy 100 sqm • Total building is 500 sqm • You occupy = 100/500 = 20% or 0.20 of total building Your usage for April 2012 to March 2013: • Electricity: 0.20*120,000 kWh= 24,000 kWh • Gas: 0.20* 60,000 kWh = 12,000 kWh • Water: 0.20*1,200 m3 = 240 m3
