Energy Data

BCIT’s Energy Team uses a data driven approach to achieve the institutes goals to reduce carbon emissions and increase the energy efficiency of our buildings. Browse some of the institutional and building level data we use.

The data on this page is updated twice a year.


Energy usage for each BCIT campus

Institutional Carbon Emissions

BCIT sets ambitious targets for it’s carbon emission reduction, with the intention of delivering a 50% reduction in emissions from baseline levels by 2030.

Building Level Data

Monitoring the energy usage at the level of individual buildings allows for more targeted energy efficiency initiatives.

This graph show the Energy Usage Intensity of some our buildings. It’s calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year by the building’s floor area. It’s a good way to understand which buildings are energy efficient. At BCIT a building like NE8, has a much higher EUI than NW4, although it uses less total energy.

We can use this data to target improvements in specific buildings to make them more efficient.
