2003 Building Characteristics Overview, the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) estimates that there were nearly 4.9 million commercial buildings and more than 71.6 billion square feet of commercial floorspace in the U. S. in 2003

1999 Building Characteristics Overview, the 1999 CBECS collected information about HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system, building shell, and lighting conservation features and practices plus information on off-hour reduction of end-use equipment. In general, commercial buildings that were larger than average were more likely to have used these conservation features or measures (May 2002)

Energy End-Use Intensities in Commercial Buildings 1989, the demand for energy in U.S. stores, offices, schools, hospitals, and other commercial buildings has been increasing. This report examines energy intensities in commercial buildings for nine end uses: space heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, water heating, cooking, refrigeration, office equipment, and "other." The objective of this analysis was to increase understanding of how energy is used in commercial buildings and to identify targets for greater energy efficiency which could moderate future growth in demand (September 1994)

Lighting in Commercial Buildings, lighting represents a substantial fraction of commercial electricity consumption. This report provides a statistical profile of commercial lighting, to examine the potential for lighting energy conservation in commercial buildings. The principal conclusion from this analysis is that energy use for lighting could be reduced by as much as a factor of four using currently available technology ( March 1992)

Energy Use in Manufacturing: 1994 to 1998, between 1994 and 1998, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for manufacturing grew at an annualized rate of 4.7 percent. Producer prices for intermediate materials used in manufacturing showed very little growth while producer prices for crude materials actually declined as the real price (chained 1992 dollars) of crude oil was 23 percent less in 1998 than in1994 (July 2002)

Fuel Oil Use in Manufacturing, the large majority of oil products purchased by manufacturers to produce heat and power are distillate and residual fuel oils. Distillate fuel oil, the lighter product, is also used for heating of homes and commercial buildings. Residual oil is a much denser, heavier product not ordinarily used in residential or commercial building applications (May 2000)

Householder's Perceptions of Insulation Adequacy and Drafts in the Home in 2001, in order to improve the estimation of end-use heating consumption, the Energy Information Administration's (EIA), 2001 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), for the first time, asked respondents to judge how drafty they perceived their homes to be as a measure of insulation quality. The analysis of the 2001 RECS data shows that householders in newly-constructed homes perceived their homes to be better insulated and less drafty than do householders in older homes. Single-family homes are perceived to be better insulated and less drafty than are apartments in buildings with two to four units. Cross-variable comparisons also provide the associations between the level of insulation and winter drafts in the homes with household characteristics and location of the home (August 2004)

Winter Energy Savings from Lower Thermostat Settings, potential savings are based on an examination of data from the 1997 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) and the Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), both products of the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Actual savings for individual households depend on the type of main heating fuel and the amount of fuel used, which, in turn, depend on home size, amount of insulation, area of the country, and many other variables (December 2000)

Residential Lighting: Use and Potential Savings, the overwhelming majority of lights in residential households are incandescent--the least energy efficient of all light types. If households replaced the most intensively used bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, they would see a sizable savings in their electric bills. The total U.S. household energy that would be saved by replacing all incandescent bulbs used 4 or more hours per day would be 31.7 billion kilowatthours (KWh) annually, or 35 percent of all electricity used for residential lighting (September 1996)

Reducing Home Heating and Cooling Costs, 1994, this report is in response to a request from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce that the Energy Information Administration (EIA) undertake a neutral, unbiased analysis of the cost, safety, and health and environmental effects of the three major heating fuels: heating oil, natural gas, and electricity. The Committee also asked EIA to examine the role of conservation in the choice of heating and cooling fuel (July 1994)

Measuring Energy Efficiency in the United States' Economy: A Beginning, energy efficiency is a vital component of the Nation's energy strategy. One of the Department of Energy's missions are to promote energy efficiency to help the Nation manage its energy resources. The ability to define and measure energy efficiency is essential to this objective. In the absence of consistent defensible measures, energy efficiency is a vague, subjective concept that engenders directionless speculation and confusion rather than insightful analysis (October 1995)
