Cal-BECA Project. Part 1. New California nonresidential buildings
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5381838
We compiled and analyzed energy consumption data for 26 new California commercial buildings designed to be energy-efficient. Data on building characteristics and design strategies were collected for 29 additional buildings for which energy data were not available. Analysis of these data is part of the ''CAL-BECA'' (California Buildings Energy-Use Compilation and analysis) project to increase the measured data on energy savings from conservation measures in California buildings. The buildings, mostly large offices, are operating at a wide range of energy intensities, between 31 and 127 site kBtu/ft/sup 2/-year (86 to 388 kBtu/ft/sup 2/-year, in resource units). Almost half the sample are operating at levels between 60 and 80 site kBtu/ft/sup 2/-year. Daylighting and shading strategies are the most common energy-saving design features in this sample. We present the results of the data base project and discuss limitations of the data, which restrict evaluations of energy performance and prevent correlation of specific design strategies with energy performance.
