Proposed Energy Performance Standards for New Buildings: Energy Budget Levels Selection. Technical Support Document
This document sets forth the data and procedures used by DOE to select proposed energy budget levels. Of three broad categories of new buildings (commercial, residential, and mobile homes), DOE determined that sufficient information existed upon which to select energy budget levels for single-family residential, and commercial and multifamily residential buildings. Because of analytical difficulties in separating process energy requirements from space-conditioning energy requirements, no energy budget levels are proposed for industrial buildings or restaurants. Also, inconclusive analyses resulted in no energy budget levels being proposed for mobile homes. DOE conducted extensive analyses of the design energy requirements of buildings, utilizing a variety of approaches. One approach was to conduct architectural studies of samples of commercial, residential, and mobile-home designs. Simulation studies were conducted to analyze the design energy requirements of prototypical single-family residential buildings. A separate life-cycle cost study of office buildings was done. Economic studies were conducted to assess the impact of different assumed levels of the standards on building owners, elements of the construction industry, and the nation as a whole. This document explains the energy budget levels selection process and the data upon which DOE relied. (ERA citation 05:012084)
