[Bldg-sim] Benchmark data of energy use for sports facilities

[Jeff Haberl]

FYI:

You'll find some dated, but useful information in the following ASHRAE papers, which talk about work in the 1980s on a Rec Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder:

Haberl, J., Claridge, D. 1987. “An Expert System for Building Energy Consumption Analysis: Prototype Results,” ASHRAE Transactions-Research, Vol. 93, Pt. 1, pp. 979 - 998 (January). 

Haberl, J., Claridge, D. 1985. “Retrofit Energy Studies of a Recreation Center,” ASHRAE Transactions-Research, Vol. 91, Pt. 2, pp. 1421 - 1433 (June). 

There is also a slug of reports and papers that document about 10 yrs of work on the Rec Center, which you can pluck out of my on-line resume at the Lab --> www.esl.tamu.edu., one of which was a DOE-2 simulation of the Rec Center that included the ice rink and swimming pool (as best we could)....if enough folks bug me I'll get them loaded into the digital library at TAMU.

We also have sub-metered data on the Rec Center at TAMU, and several models as well...

In general, Rec Centers are about as complex as you can imagine, especially if they have a pool, perhaps a Poolpac system, heat reclaim, ice rink, etc., etc. For the Rec Center at CU, we eventually developed an expert system that predicted what was wrong and saved them lots of money on day to day mistakes...this is the topic of the 1987 paper.

I seem to recall there was a DOE publication about Rec Centers as well, but I can't seem to recall the citation off the top of my head.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Benchmark data of energy use for sports facilities

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's any public benchmark data of the the energy use for sports facilities (in US or other countries)?

I checked the CBECS database as well as the benchmark E+ models, but apparently sports facilities is not one of the building types they selected. If there's no such benchmark data available online, some literature that have surveyed data would also help me tremendously.

Thank you very much.
