How has Jamaica's energy performance changed over time?
BuildingCensus holds 3 New York City disclosures for Jamaica, covering report years 2022–2024. Site EUI moved from 32.9 kBtu/ft² (2022) to 131.3 kBtu/ft² (2024), an 299% increase. Reported emissions went from 225 tCO₂e to 818 tCO₂e over the same span (up 264%).
What does a site EUI of 131.3 kBtu/ft² mean?
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. Jamaica's 131.3 kBtu/ft² across 93,795 sq ft works out to about 12.3 billion Btu (3,609 MWh-equivalent) in 2024. Its source EUI of 184.7 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 738,310 kWh of electricity, 94,530 therms of natural gas and 4,190 thousand gallons of water for the year.
Which law requires Jamaica to report its energy use?
