Results to date from the Building Energy Use Compilation and Analysis (BECA) studies are summarized, which include time trends in the energy consumption of new commercial and new residential buildings, the measured savings being attained by both commercial and residential retrofits, the cost-effectiveness of buildings energy-conservation measures, and the validation of building-energy computer programs. Recent comparisons of predicted vs. actual energy performance are also examined, and the case for home-energy-use ratings is presented.
