Methodology for Analyzing the Technical Potential for Energy Performance in the U.S. Commercial Buildings Sector with Detailed Energy Modeling: Preprint

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This paper summarizes a methodology for developing quantitative answers to the question, 'How low can energy use go within the commercial buildings sector?' The basic process is to take each building in the 1999 CBECS public use data files and create a baseline building energy model for it as if it were being built new in 2005 with code-minimum energy performance.
