[BLDG-SIM] Unconditioned space area included in Building Area of CBECS?

[Eric Yang]

Greetings,

 

I am trying to compare the building energy usage to the data of
Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS).  I am not sure
whether the unconditioned parking garage (below-grade) shall be included
in the total building area?   The energy was included in the
calculation, including lighting and fan energy. 

 

It would be helpful to know how the building square footage information
was surveyed into the database 

(Database link: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/contents.html) 

 

Any suggestions or information will be appreciated.  Thanks.
