Note(s): Commercial building energy benchmarks are based off of the current stock of commercial buildings and reflect 2004 ASHRAE 90.1 Climate Zones. They are designed to provide a consistent baseline to compare building performance in energy-use simulations. 'Post' refers to buildings construction in or after 1980. 'Pre' refers to buildings construction before 1980. The benchmark building had 498,407 square feet and 12 floors. Benchmark interior lighting energy = 16.07 thousand Btu/SF. Interior equipment energy consumption = 15.94 thousand Btu/SF.
