Energy conservation in existing office buildings. Volume 1. Phase 1
The goal of this study is to bring together sufficient information, in the office part of the commercial building sector, to permit the proposal of a strategy for energy conservation. The research is based on an examination of more than 1000 office buildings containing about 250 million square feet of gross space in New York City. Of eight specific objectives in the study, the objective of Phase I is to determine the physical and operational energy-related characteristics of office buildings and energy-consumption patterns. The steps in the first phase consist of: classification and description of the major office-building inventory in terms of building characteristics that appear to bear upon energy consumption; selection of a sample; obtaining pertinent data on levels of energy use; analyzing the data and information obtained; categorizing and explaining differences; and comparing energy consumption before and after the 1973 oil embargo. A brief questionnaire was developed and distributed to 1013 building owners to obtain as much preliminary information as possible; 505 usable returns were received, of which 69 were further culled as not representative, record deficiencies, etc., leaving 436.
