The Real Estate Sustainability Accounting Standards issued by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) in 2018 proposed metrics designed for disclosure in mandatory filings. These filings are included on pages 7 and 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Our Objectives and Growth Strategy. Beginning with our 2020 ESG report, Physicians Realty Trust has aligned our disclosures with SASB standards on ESG issues important to our company and mission.
Energy and water data is collected from utility bills and submeters and assured by a third party. The recommended energy and water management activity metrics for the real estate industry include: • energy consumption data coverage as a percentage of floor area (“Energy Use Intensity”); • total energy consumed by portfolio area (“Total Energy Consumption”); • water withdrawal as a percentage of total floor area (“Water Intensity”); and • total water withdrawn by portfolio area (“Total Water Consumption”).
The charts below detail our Energy Intensity, Total Energy Consumption, Water Intensity, and Total Water Consumption for 2018 through 2021, for which data on occupied and actively managed properties was available. Total energy use is presented in gigajoules (GJ), and total water is presented per thousand cubic meters (M). (1)(2)
