Energy intensity refers to the ratio between the total energy consumption of a company or a specific activity and a certain unit of economic performance, such as turnover, floor space or the number of units produced.
About TCFD
In the property sector, energy intensity is often expressed as energy consumption per unit area. HAMBORNER REIT AG defines energy intensity as energy consumption per square metre of heated gross floor area. This key figure helps to assess and monitor the efficiency of energy consumption. A lower energy intensity means that less energy is required to achieve a certain economic output, which indicates higher energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact. In the context of sustainability strategies, reducing energy intensity is a key objective to minimise the environmental footprint and reduce costs. Measures such as modernising building technology, using renewable energies and improving building insulation can effectively reduce energy intensity.
