Analysis of Potential Benefits and Costs of Adopting a Commercial Building Energy Standard in South Dakota
The state of South Dakota is considering adopting a commercial building energy standard. This report evaluates the potential costs and benefits to South Dakota residents from. requiring compliance with the most recent edition of the ANSIIASHRAEIIESNA 90.1-2001 Energy Standard for Buildings except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (hereafter referred to 90.1-2001 or ASHRAE 90.1-2001). These standards were developed in an effort to set minimum requirements for the energy efficient design and construction of new commercial buildings. The quantitative benefits and costs of adopting a commercial building energy code are modeled by comparing the characteristics of assumed current building practices with the most recent edition of the ASHRAE Standard, 90.1-2001. Both qualitative and quantitative benefits and costs are assessed in this analysis. Energy and economic impacts are estimated using results from a detailed building energy simulation tool (Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics (BLAST) model) combined with a Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) approach to assess corresponding economic costs and benefits.
