| Note(s): |
Commercial
building energy benchmarks are based off of the current stock of commercial
buildings and reflect 2004 ASHRAE 90.1 Climate Zones. They are designed to
provide a consistent baseline to compare building performance in energy-use
simulations. The benchmark building had 53,608 square feet and 3 floors.
Benchmark interior lighting energy = 10.7 thousand Btu/SF. Interior equipment
energy consumption = 18.85 thousand Btu/SF. |
