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).
