Formula Used

Electricity Consumption Formula

Total Monthly Consumption (kWh) = (Square Footage × 0.12) + (Number of Employees × 5) + (Number of Computers × 150) + (Number of Other Equipment × 75)

The formula accounts for:

Base electricity usage per square foot
Employee-related energy consumption
Computer energy usage
Other equipment energy consumption

Example Calculation

For a 2,000 sq ft office with 20 employees, 15 computers, and 5 other pieces of equipment:

(2,000 × 0.12) + (20 × 5) + (15 × 150) + (5 × 75) = 240 + 100 + 2,250 + 375 = 2,965 kWh

NYC-Specific Considerations

New York City has unique energy requirements and regulations that affect office electricity consumption. Key factors include:

NYC's energy efficiency standards for buildings
Local climate control requirements
Specialized equipment common in NYC offices
Energy pricing structures in NYC

NYC Energy Code

All NYC buildings must comply with the NYC Energy Code, which includes specific requirements for lighting, HVAC systems, and energy-efficient equipment.
