# Information Commercial Buildings Sector Most of the information available from EIA about the commercial buildings population and its energy use comes from the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS). The CBECS is a national sample survey that collects energy-related building characteristics data and energy consumption and expenditures data for commercial buildings in the United States. The CBECS was first conducted in 1979; the eighth, and most recent survey, was conducted in 2003. Beginning in 1999, CBECS is conducted on a quadrennial basis. Preliminary estimates for 2003 are now available here. The information for the 1999 CBECS is displayed in the following formats: Detailed tables-which present number of buildings, amount of floorspace, and energy consumption and expenditures data for major building characteristics. Preliminary end-use consumption estimates for 1999. Special topics and data reports-which range from brief discussions of specific issues to full reports that include detailed data tables. Public use data-which are microdata files that show data for individual survey respondents (without identification of the respondents).
