The 18 Public Use Data files of the 1992 Commercial
Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) data are available in ASCII
(i.e. CE92F01T.TXT) and dBASE (CE92F01D.DBF) formats. These files contain
the 1992 CBECS basic data including building characteristics, energy
consumption and expenditures, and temperature data. The files can be
accessed below. The data have been compressed into zip files with an
extension of zip. After downloading the files, they should be placed in a
separate directory and expanded by using a pkunzip
program (also available below).
