Development of National New Construction Weighting Factors for the Commercial Building Prototype Analyses (2003-2018)
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Building Technologies tasked Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to develop construction weights for various commercial building categories for the purpose of estimating weighted national energy savings from the development of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2019 compared to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2016. Disaggregate construction volume data was acquired from the McGraw Hill Construction Database for the years 2003-2018 and analyzed to develop detailed construction weights by climate zones, subzones and by states. These weights are provided in this report and will be subsequently used in developing a weighted national energy savings estimate for the impact of the 2019 standard. For the current update, PNNL reviewed the same data source with the latest construction data for the years 2003-2018.
