See "Guide to the Tables" or "Glossary" for further explanations of the terms used in this table. Both can be accessed from the CBECS web site - http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs.
 * Figures in this table do not include enclosed malls and strip malls. Mall buildings add an estimated 213 thousand buildings comprising 6.9 billion square feet. In the 1999 CBECS, malls represented 9.7 percent of total electricity consumption.
a Climate zone (30-year average) definitions: Zone 1 = Under 2,000 CDD and more than 7,000 HDD; Zone 2 = Under 2,000 CDD and 5,500-7,000 HDD; Zone 3 = Under 2,000 CDD and 4,000-5,499 HDD; Zone 4 = Under 2,000 CDD and fewer than 4,000 HDD; Zone 5 = 2,000 CDD or more and fewer than 4,000 HDD. (See "Glossary" for definitions of CDD and HDD.)
b The definition for one or more of these row items has changed and may not be directly comparable with past CBECS estimates. See "Guide to the Tables" for discussion of the differences.
Q=Data withheld because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50 percent, or fewer than 20 buildings were sampled.
N=No responding cases in sample that use electricity.
Notes: ● Statistics for the "Energy End Uses" category represent total consumption in buildings that have the end use, not consumption specifically for that particular end use. ● HVAC = Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. ● Due to rounding, data may not sum to totals.
