Forecasting commercial electricity consumption at the Energy Information Administration

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6639764
The Commercial Sector Energy Model (CSEM) was developed under contract by Brookhaven National Laboratory for the Office of Energy Markets and End Use, Energy Information Administration (EIA). The model was developed in the fall of 1982 based primarily on the Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (NBECS) of EIA. CSEM is used either as the commercial module of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) or as an independent commercial sector energy demand model. CSEM was used most recently to produce commercial sector energy projections for the 1982 Annual Energy Outlook (AED). CSEM produces detailed forecasts for the three primary fuels used by the commercial sector, electricity, natural gas and fuel oil.
