If you benchmark water use in Portfolio Manager, one of the key metrics you'll see is water use intensity, or WUI. For most property types in Portfolio Manager, WUI is expressed as gallons per square foot per year. It's calculated by dividing the building’s total annual water consumption by its total gross floor area. And now, for the first time, you can compare your WUI to other commercial buildings across the country. Let’s say you manage a multifamily building and your WUI is 16. Is that good? Is that bad? According to the data, it’s very, very good. Better than 95% of your peers. Congratulations! Compare your WUI to those of your peers: https://lnkd.in/g3PhZ-sg
