National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Energy and Transportation Science Division and Facilities Management Division, Derivation of Building Energy Use Intensity Targets for Ashrae Standard 100, August 31, 2011.

Abstract	The steps to develop the building energy use intensity targets for ASHRAE Standard 100 are outlined. These analyses were conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in collaboration with the ASHRAE Standard 100 committee and Dr. Alexander Zhivov, the subcommittee chair responsible for targets development. In this step, national building total energy use intensities (EUIs; units are kBtu/sqft-yr) are derived via analysis of the CBECS of 2003 and the RECS of 2005. The EUIs are site-energy based1 and are national median values. The building EUI values are derived based on building types as classified by the PBAPLUS8 variable in the CBECS database and the TYPEHUQ variable in the RECS database. This classification yielded over 50 different building types for the analysis (48 commercial and 5 residential). A goal of this step was to develop building EUIs by climate zone because EUIs for any given building type differ significantly depending on their climatological location.
