[Equest-users] ASHRAE Baseline EUI

[David Bastow]

Paul,
 
Probably the best data source for average building energy use of similar
buildings might be the Energy Star programs Portfolio Manager and Target
Finder.  Go to www.energystar.gov/benchmark
 
I also have a book from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) of average
energy use data on ten different building types for electric resistance
heated buildings and buildings that have fossil fuel space and water
heating in Boise, ID; Spokane, WA; and Seattle, WA.  The ten building
types are:

1.	
	Small Offices (Approx. 5,000 FT2)
2.	
	Large Offices (Approx. 100,000 FT2)
3.	
	Small Retail (Less than 30,000 FT2)
4.	
	
	Large Retail (More than 30,000 FT2)
5.	
	
	Warehouses
6.	
	
	Restaurants
7.	
	
	Grocery Stores
8.	
	
	Hotels
9.	
	
	Schools
10.	
	
	Hospitals/Medical

Thanks,

All,

 

I have developed a baseline building and calculated its energy use index
(EUI), total source building btu use divided by building square footage,
and I am curious to compare it to other models.  Obviously since many
users on this list are from very different climate zones, we will get
some varying answers.  However, I would still be interested to see what
kind of use different buildings are characterized by, especially in
Michigan.  Or, if any of you know a resource that I can use to reference
this type of information, I'd be grateful.

 

Thanks!
