Energy Use Breakdown
Energy use across managed properties is spread across core building systems that support tenant comfort, safety, and daily operations.
Primary Energy Sources
Properties rely on a mix of electricity and fuel to support heating, cooling, lighting, and building systems.
Where Energy Is Used Most
-
HVAC / space heating & cooling: ~30–40% (space heating alone ~32%)
-
Lighting (common & exterior): ~10–15%
-
Ventilation, pumps, elevators, and building systems: ~10–15%
-
Water heating: ~5–10%

Why It Matters
Because HVAC and building systems represent the largest share of energy use, pricing strategy and visibility can have a meaningful impact on operating costs across an entire portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy my natural gas and electricity from Sprague, rather than from my utility company?
Yes. Sprague supplies natural gas and works with licensed electricity suppliers to arrange your electricity supply. Your utility will continue to deliver the natural gas and/or electricity to your business.
You’ll typically receive two bills: one from the utility for their distribution service and one from your energy supplier for the supply of natural gas or electricity. Pricing options may include fixed, variable, or hybrid plans depending on your needs.
