Title: Model of commercial energy use in Wisconsin. Energy Systems and Policy Research report No. 5. IES report 36

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7348171

The commercial submodel relies upon an engineering design approach to arrive at the parameters and functional relationships which characterize energy intensities per square foot of floor area in commercial buildings. Resultant energy consumption by end use and fuel type is determined by the product of calculated energy intensities and total commercial floor area assignable to each element of the end use/fuel type matrix. Initial values for the parameters are derived from published sources, or when not available, from estimates obtained from professionals in the field of energy systems design.
