Which of the following is NOT listed as a sustainability KPI for a facility?

• A. Energy use intensity
• B. Percent waste recycled/diverted
• C. Employee satisfaction rating
• D. Water use intensity

Answer: (C)

When evaluating a facility’s sustainability performance, the focus is on measuring how efficiently the building uses resources and manages waste. Energy use intensity and water use intensity quantify energy and water consumption relative to a baseline like floor area or production, making it easy to compare performance across buildings and over time. Percent waste recycled/diverted shows how much waste is being kept out of landfills, reflecting how effectively the facility handles waste management. The metric about employee satisfaction, while important for overall organizational health, isn’t a direct measure of the facility’s environmental performance. It belongs more to HR or broader ESG considerations than to the facility’s environmental KPIs, so it isn’t listed as a typical facility sustainability KPI.
