Development of National New Construction Weighting Factors for the Commercial Building Prototype Analyses (2008-2022)
Document Number: PNNL-36415
Document Type: Analysis
Publication Date:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) tasked Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with updating commercial building1 construction weights for the purpose of estimating national and state-by-state energy savings impacts of changes made to various commercial energy codes and standards. For commercial building analyses, PNNL typically uses a suite of 16 prototype buildings simulated in the 19 ASHRAE climate zones with 16 of them present in the United States. The 2008-2022 commercial building weighting factors were derived using the same approach employed to develop the 2003-2018 set (Lei et al, 2020).
