Edits needed to the MORE INFO definitions of metrics in left navigation.

We would like to customize the text description under Total GHG Emission. And make minor edits to Source EUI.

Please change the text description for Property Size to:

The Gross Floor Area (GFA) is the total property square footage, measured between the outside surface of the exterior walls of the building(s). This includes all areas inside the building(s) including supporting areas. GFA is not the same as rentable space, but rather includes all area inside the building(s).

Please change the text description for Site Energy Use Intensity to:

Non-Normalized Site Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is a property's Site Energy Use divided by its gross floor area. Site Energy Use is the annual amount of all the energy consumed by the property on-site, as reported on utility bills. Site EUI is measured in thousands of British thermal units (kBtu) per square foot.

Please change the text description for Source Energy Use Intensity to:

Non-Normalized Source Energy Use is a property’s Source Energy Use divided by property square footage. Source Energy Use is the total amount of raw fuel that is required to operate the property. In addition to what the property consumes on-site, source energy includes losses that take place during generation, transmission, and distribution of the energy, thereby enabling a complete assessment of energy consumption resulting from building operations. Source EUI is measured in thousands of British thermal units (kBtu) per square foot.

Please change the title for GHG Emissions from Total GHG Emissions to Total Seattle GHG Emissions and the text description to:

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions are the carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) gases released into the atmosphere as a result of energy consumption at the property. GHG emissions are expressed in Metric Tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), a universal unit of measure that combines the quantity and global warming potential of each greenhouse gas. Total Emissions is the sum of Direct Emissions (emissions associated with onsite fuel combustion) and Indirect Emissions (emissions associated with purchases of electricity, district steam, district hot water, or district chilled water). These emissions estimates are calculated from site electricity, natural gas, and steam energy use using GHG emissions factors. The calculation includes a custom factor from Seattle City Light for electricity, a default natural gas factor from the EPA, and a custom emissions factor from Enwave for steam.

Please change the title for GHG Intensity to Seattle GHG Intensity
