Summary

Description

This dataset includes simulation results from a national-scale study of the commercial buildings sector. Electric load profiles contain the hour-by-hour demand for electricity for each building. Summary tables describe individual buildings and their overall annual energy performance. The study developed detailed EnergyPlus models for 4,820 different samples in 2003 CBECS. Simulation output is available for all and organized by CBECS’s identification number in public use datasets. Three modeling scenarios are available: existing stock (with 2003 historical weather), stock as if rebuilt new (with typical weather), and the stock if rebuilt using maximum efficiency technology (with typical weather). The following reports describe how the dataset was developed: Methodology for Modeling Building Energy Performance across the Commercial Sector Assessment of the Technical. Potential for Achieving Net Zero-Energy Buildings in the Commercial Sector The contents of this dataset are available at: /datasets/files/41/pub/
