Nonresidential buildings energy consumption survey: Commercial buildings consumption and expenditures 1986

Technical Report · Fri May 05 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:6114626

Consumption and expenditure statistics from the 1986 Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (NBECS) are presented in this report. The NBECS provides basic statistical information on the consumption of and expenditures for energy in commercial buildings, and on the energy-related characteristics of these buildings. EIA conducts this national sample survey of commercial buildings and their energy suppliers on triennial basis. This survey is the only source of national-level data on commercial building characteristics and energy consumption. A previous report covered the characteristics that affect energy use in the 1986 commercial building stock. This report covers energy consumption and expenditures. Annual consumption and expenditure estimates are provided for electricity, natural gas, fuel oil (including kerosene), propane (and other forms of liquefied petroleum gas), and district heat (steam or hot water from a central plant or utility). These are the principle energy sources for which billing data were collected as part of the NBECS, and are referred to as major fuels in this report. Limited statistics are also presented on district chilled water (from a central plant or utility). For other fuels, such as wood and coal, the use of the fuel in the building was determined, but no billing data were collected.
