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.
