Developed by DOE with three of its' national labs, these benchmark models are complete descriptions of buildings for whole building energy analysis using EnergyPlus. There are 16 commercial building types represented with benchmark files and information on the building types and climates. Benchmarks will be made available for new construction, post-1980 buildings, and pre-1980 buildings. Types of models often found at federal facilities include: large office, medium office, small office, warehouse, stand-alone retail, schools, fast food, restaurant, hospital, outpatient health care, small hotel, and large hotel.
