Energy Information Administration
Introduction

This is the fourth in a series of reports from the Office of Energy 

Markets and End Use (EMEU) presenting data from the Nonresidential 

Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (NBECS). The other reports in the 

NBECS series include Building Characteristics, Fuel Characteristics and 

Conservation Practices, and Consumption and Expenditures, Part 1, Natural 

Gas and Electricity (see inside back cover for complete citation). The 

NBECS was designed, developed, and analyzed by the Energy Information 

Administration (EIA). This is the first time that either the public or 

the private sector has developed a method of collecting data on a 

statistical sample of nonresidential buildings across the country.

This report presents data on square footage and on total energy 

consumption and expenditures for commercial buildings in the contiguous 

United States.* Also included are detailed consumption and expenditures 

tables for fuel oil or kerosene, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and pur 

chased steam.^ Commercial buildings include all nonresidential build 

ings with the exception of those x-jhere industrial activities occupy 

more of the total square footage than any other type of activity.3 

Nonresidential buildings have been defined as roofed and walled struc 

tures that house some kind of commercial cr industrial activity (see 

Glossary). Buildings that were primarily residential but showed evidence 

of commercial or industrial activities were also within the scope of the 

survey.

Table 1 displays average, median, and total square footage by selected 

building characteristics. These building characteristics include end 

use, location, structural features, use and occupancy characteristics, 

type of heating and cooling systems, and conservation practices. 

Tables 2 through 5 present total and average consumption and expenditures 

data (combined and disaggregated) by the same building characteristics.

' Estimates of the number of buildings and square footage cover the 

commercial building population as of January 1, 1980. Energy 

consumption and expenditures data are estimated for calendar year 1979. 

The tables present data from the final building characteristics and 

consumption files, both of which contain imputations for missing data 

(see Appendix B, "Limitations of the Data," for a description of the 

imputation procedures utilized).

^Detailed tables for electricity and natural gas may be found in the 

Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey: Consumption and 

Expenditures, Part 1, Natural Gas and Electricity, DOE/EIA-0318/1.

-'Buildings that were totally or primarily industrial, while eligible 

for inclusion in the survey, were not included in this report. These 

buildings were excluded due to poor sample coverage of the industrial 

buildings' sector and extreme variability in their consumption estimates.

*A detailed discussion of this table may be found in Consumption and 

Expenditures, Part 1.

Energy Information Administration
introduction (Continued)

Consumption and expenditures information is presented separately foe 

fuel oil or kerosene, LPG, and steam buildings in Tables 6 through 5, 

In Tables 9 and 10, data are given on the number and capacity of tanks 

and inventory of fuel for buildings .ising fuel oil. Also included Ithis report are a summary of findings, a description of how the survey 

was conducted, a section on data limitations, relative standard error 

tables, copies of the questionnaire and utility forms, and a glossa-y, -

Caution should be exercised when comparing the NBECS consumption d;;/:j 

for buildings with consumption estimates for the commercial sector 's;c... 

Appendix B, "Limitations of the Data," for comparisons with other dnt.o 

sources). The population of commercial buildings is not equivalent to 

the commercial sector. The commercial sector includes a sizable popu 

lation of nonbuildings that are consumers of energy. Some examples 

include streetlights, pumps, bridges, swimming pools, construction 

sites, etc. The NBECS, which sampled buildings, cannot estimate th<; 

total consumption of the commercial sector, as it does not measure tre: 

consumption of nonbuildings.

The Energy Information Administration, is currently conducting a 198.'; 

Sonresidential Buildings Survey (SBECS II). Buildings that were surv; 1 

in the original NBECS are being revisited to determine what changas rav 

occurred in the buildings' structural and operational characteristics 

since January 1980. The original building sample has been updated vie!: 

a sample of buildings constructed since January 1, 1980. Basic build i. 1 

and operating characteristics are being collected from representa tive;. 

of the buildings new to the survey. Energy consumption and expenditure 

data for 1983 will be collected from the buildings' energy suppliers 

for both of the building samples..

-'Because the data came from a sample of commercial buildings rather 

than the entire population, the estimates in this report are subject: 

to sampling as well as nonsampling errors and biases. These issues 

are discussed in Appendix B, "Limitations of the Data." Estimates of 

the sampling error component have been produced for statistics in th.i..-. 

report. They are given in Appendix C for the detailed tables and in 

parentheses after specific estimates quoted in the text. Sampling 

errors can be used to test statistical inferences made in the text. 

Testing procedures are also discussed in Appendix B.

Figure 3. Percentage of Total

Buildings and Percentage of

Total Consumption by Region,

1979

Approximately two-thirds of the commercial building stock was air 

conditioned; however, these buildings accounted for 84 percent (+ 7) 

of the total amount of energy consumed by commercial buildings. ?leari.y 

all of the buildings that were air conditioned used electricity for this; 

purpose. Air-conditioned buildings consumed an average of 122,000 13fj 

per square foot (+_ 12,000), while buildings that were not cooled 

averaged 89,000 Btu per square foot (+ 13,000).

Nearly 70 percent of the commercial building stock used energy for wai:;: i: 

heating. Most of the buildings with heated water used natural gas or 

electricity for this purpose (in roughly equal numbers).

A slight majority of the commercial building stock, 57 percent (+ 6), v,, 

located in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's). The tyiic, 

building located in an SMSA was approximately twice the size of the 

typical non-SMSA building (15,200 square feet + 1,600, as compared w:'_t:li 

8,100 square feet + 1,000). Although total consumption for SMSA 

buildings was about three times as high as that for non-SMSA buildings, 

the average consumption per square foot for SMSA buildings was only 

1.21 times that found in non-SMSA buildings.

Figure 3 shows the percentage distribution of buildings and total 

consumption by region (see also Table 3). The largest number of bui.Ic 

ings was found in the South (1,408,000 + 298,000) and North Central 

regions (1,226,000 + 245,000), twice as" many as in the Northeast and

West regions. The region with the highest estimated consumption was the 

North Central, with 36 percent (+_ 5) of the total (1.984 quadrillion Btu 

+_ 0.369). Although the number of buildings in the Northeast and West 

was similar, total consumption in the Northeast was twice that of the 

West.

Table S2 gives both total and average consumption and expenditures for 

all commercial buildings and for commercial buildings by region. Average 

per building consumption and expenditures were about twice as high for 

buidings in the Northeast (at 2,039 million Btu + 571 and $15,400 

+_ $3,600 per building) as in the South and West regions. This disparity 

is apparently due to a combination of large average building size and 

more intensive energy use in the Northeast. The average size of build 

ings in the Northeast was 16,400 square feet {+ 2,700), as compared 

with 12,200 square feet (+ 2,300) for the West and 10,000 square feet 

(+1,200) for the South.

Consumption per square foot also displayed considerable variability by 

region, ranging from 86,000 Btu (+ 21,000) for buildings in the West to 

130,000 Btu (+ 18,000) for buildings in the North Central region. 

Average expenditures per million Btu ranged from a high of $7.53

of Findings (Continued)

The distribution of building types across regions did not vary 

substantially with the exception of the category "primarily residential." 

These buildings constituted the single largest category in the Northeast, 

accounting for 19 percent (+ 4) of the total number of buildings 

in this region. In the other regions, the primarily residential category 

accounted for less than 10 percent of the building population.

As has been shown, buildings in the 

in the other regions in a number of 

also tended to be older than those 

imately one-third of the Northeast 

earlier, as compared with 10 and 12 

the South and West, respectively, 

the buildings in the South and West 

compared with less than 10 percent

Northeast were different from those

ways. Buildings in the Northeast

percent (+_ 3, 4) of the buildings in 

Conversely, more than 20 percent of

were constructed after 1970, as 

of the buildings in the Northeast.

Figure 4 gives total energy consumption by building type. The building 

types with the largest estimates were office buildings (1.014 quadrillion 

Btu + 0.162), retail sales and service buildings (0.662 quadrillion Btu 

+ 0.155), and warehouse and storage buildings (0,648 quadrillion Btu 

+ 0.218). Approximately 43 percent (+ 3) of the total amount of energy 

used in commercial buildings was consumed in these three building types.

Summary of Findings (Continued)

The average amount consumed per building varied substantially by biii. l.:l:!t 

type, ranging from 10.1 billion Btu (+ 3.5) for health care buildingi :: 

556 million Btu (+ 139) for automotive sales and service buildings. \~. 

is interesting to note that while health care and education building; 

were approximately the same size, their consumption patterns were qjxl::: 

different. The average health care building consumed more than threi2 

times as much as the average education building, reflecting the 

differences in patterns of usage for these two types of building.

Figures 5 and 6 present two summary measures, consumption per square 

foot and consumption per employee ranked by building type. These two 

measures display quite different patterns. Health care buildings bad 

the highest estimate of consumption per square foot with 262,000 Btu 

(+ 57,000). At the other end of the spectrum were vacant, assembly, 

retail, and education buildings. Building types that tend to be lai';;e 

but have relatively few employees, such as warehouses and lodgings, had 

high levels of consumption per employee (154 million Btu + 47 and 14S; 

million Btu +^ 47, respectively). Office buildings had by far the Love:-; 

consumption per employee at 44 million Btu (+^ 8), followed by retail 

sales and service buildings. Both of these latter building types ;erd 

to be relatively dense in terms of the ratio of employees to space.

Average Consumption per Employee (Million Btu)

175

Source: Energy Information Administration, 1 979 Nonresidential Buildings Energy 

Consumption Survey.

The average price per million Btu varied widely by building type, ranging 

from $5.02 (+ $0.54) for health care building's to $8.30 (+ $1.28) for 

office buildings.

As of January 1, 1980, 57 percent (+ 4) of the energy-consuming 

commercial building stock consisted of buildings of 5,000 square feet or 

less (see Table—S4). Despite their numerical prevalence, these buildings 

represented only 10 percent (+ 2) of the total square footage, 15 percent 

(+ 2) of total consumption, and 17 percent (+ 3) of the total expendi 

tures for the sector. On the other hand, only 4 percent (^ 1), or 

165,000 (+ 28,000),of all commercial buildings contained more than 50,000 

square feet.

Figure 7. Average Consumption per Square Foot (Thousand Btu) and per Building (Million Btu]

by Square Footage Category,

1979

Symmaiy of Findings (Continued)

As would be expected, average consumption per building was positively 

related to building size. Buildings in the smallest size class, 1,000 

square feet or less, consumed an average of 173 million Btu (+_ 92), 

while the largest buildings, those more than 50,000 square feet, con 

sumed approximately 14 billion Btu (+ 1.8). Building size was negatively 

associated with consumption per square foot. Figure 7 shows that, 

for the most part, as building size increased, consumption per square 

foot decreased from 303,000 Btu (+ 162,000) for the smallest buildings 

to 108,000 Btu (+ 10,000) for the largest buildings. For all the 

fuels surveyed, except steam, buildings of more than 50,000 square feet 

size class had a smaller estimated price per million Btu than buildings 

in the other size classes (although most of the price differences were 

not statistically significant; see Table 4).

Appendix 

A How the Survey Was 

Conducted
Introduction

Sample Design

Appendix A

The Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey was designed by 

the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to provide information related 

to energy consumption in nonresidential buildings, primarily those in 

the commercial sector. This survey, along with analogous studies for 

the residential and industrial sectors, will enable analysts to study 

comprehensive consumption patterns for the United States.

Information on energy use in the commercial sector was collected at the 

building level. A representative sample of buildings was selected in 

the 48 contiguous States plus the District of Columbia. Personal inter 

views were conducted with building representatives to obtain information 

on building characteristics and on the types and uses of energy found 

in the buildings. At the conclusion of the interviews, respondents were 

asked to sign waivers releasing energy consumption and expenditures data 

for the buildings. The data on actual energy consumption were collected 

from fuel records maintained by the buildings' fuel suppliers.

The building sample was a multistage, representative area probability 

sample consisting of 79 primary sampling units (PSU's). The approxi 

mately 3,100 counties and independent cities of the contiguous United 

States were grouped into about 1,900 PSU's by the Census Bureau for its 

Current Population Survey. These PSU's, with some modifications, were 

used to construct the first-stage area-sampling frame. The 25 PSU's that 

had a 1970 population of more than 1.85 million were designated as selfrepresenting; that is, they were chosen with certainty. The remaining 

non-self-representing PSU's were placed in strata on the basis of 

metropolitan status, region, rate of growth from 1960 to 1970, percentage 

of black population, and a measure of socioeconomic status. They were 

selected with probabilities proportionate to their 1970 population.

The sample PSU's were then divided into secondary sampling units corres 

ponding to zip codes or groups of zip codes. Procedures were designed to 

handle zip codes that overlapped county boundaries and/or special zip 

codes that were assigned to large commercial establishments or Government 

agencies.

Each zip code was assigned a measure of size based jointly on summary 

data from the 1975 County Business Patterns (CBP) and on proprietary 

commercial data related to office machines. The CBP data were weighted 

.counts of establishments by 2-digit Standard Industrial Classification 

(SIC) code and employment size according to zip code. The measure of size 

assigned to a zip code was an integer equal to the number of segments 

into which a zip code would be divided if drawn into the sample. The 

sizes were assigned in such a way that segments would contain an average 

of 120 establishments based on the CBP tabulations. After assignments 

of the measures of size were made, a sample of about five zip code 

groups was selected in each PSU with probabilities proportionate to the 

number of segments in each zip code group, giving a total second-stage 

sample of about 400 zip code groups.

The sample of third-stage units consisted of approximately 400 segments,

one selected from each of the sampled zip code areas. The selection of

the segments was done in such a way that 1 percent of all segments in

the contiguous United States was included in the sample, each having an

Appendix A (Continued)

equal chance of being selected. In zip code groups with measures of £;1 

of six or more, the segments were compact areas. It was feasible to 

define area segments within these selected zip code groups on the ber.Ie 

of preliminary field work done in the selected zip code areas. In the 

zip code groups with smaller measures of size, the segments were, In 

effect, selected from listings made for the complete zip code groin.

Honresidential buildings (excluding farm buildings) were selected ::rc^ 

the area segments at the fourth stage of sampling (see Glossary for ;; 

definition of "Nonresidential Building"). With a few exceptions, a 

( nonresidential building was defined as a structure that was totally 

enclosed by walls that extend from the foundation to the roof line .in.. 

housed some type of nonresidential activity. The first step in the 

selection process was to do a field canvass to identify and list the 

addresses of all in-scope buildings within each sampled segment. As 

part of the listing procedure, the lister made rough estimates based o. 

observations of descriptive information related to energy usage, includi 

square footage and general use. This information was used to categorL:-.; 

buildings for subsampling. About 75,000 buildings were listed (this 

includes the extra listings in zip code groups with measures of less 

than six) from which approximately 5,800 buildings were selected for i 

personal Interview. Subsampling fractions from the 1 percent sample 

of segments varied from 1 in 1 for buildings having measures of size or 

50,000 or more square feet as assigned by the lister, to 1 in 20 for 

small buildings (less than 10,000 square feet) of certain types.

Another part of the sampling procedure entailed preparing in advance 

a list of "large" buildings within the sampled PSU's and placing them 

on a Special Building List. "Large" buildings were defined as those 

with 250,000 or more square feet of enclosed floorspace in PSU's that 

a.re Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA). In the remaining 

one-third of the PSU's, buildings of 100,000 square feet or more were 

listed. The list of large buildings v.ras compiled from existing lists of 

schools, hospitals, and Government-owned buildings and also through 

inquiries with chambers of commerce and other local sources. Some af 

the large buildings listed were clusters of buildings such as a 

university campus. About 3,200 buildings (or building clusters) were 

included on the Special Building List, and approximately 1,200 of the:i: 

were included in the sample with varying probabilities depending on 

their sizes. In those cases in which the selected unit consisted o:: a 

cluster of buildings, the individual bi.ildings were listed and subsatofl; 

at rates designed to yield the desired overall selection probabilities 

Large buildings sampled from the area sample list were checked against 

the Special Building List to Identify duplicates and assign them 

appropriate selection probabilities.

A total of 549 sampled buildings were ineligible for interview. Build 

ings were designated as being ineligible for interview for a number of 

reasons, including duplication, incorrect or multiple listings, sample 

structure failed to meet the building definition, and the sampled 

structure was demolished after the list was prepared. Duplication 

resulted from duplicate sample selections from the area sample and the 

sample selections from the list of large buildings.

Buildings were listed incorrectly or as multiple listings for several 

reasons. First, the area-sampling technique required that most buiidl ij 

be listed by observation. Therefore, it was not always possible to 

determine the exact scope of a building until the Interviewing phase, 

when contact was made with a building owner/manager. Second, since 

the list of large buildings was obtained through telephone contacts.

what was reported over the telephone to be one building frequently turned 

out to be a group of buildings. Buildings that did not meet the study 

definition (e.g., totally residential buildings) were also considered 

out-of-scope.

Weights were calculated for each sample building to reflect the 

reciprocals of the probabilities of selection and adjust for dif 

ferences in the interview completion rate for different classes of 

buildings. The overall response rate in the survey was 92 percent.

The sample consisted of a total of 7,322 buildings. Of these, 6,773 were 

eligible to be interviewed; 5,677 were from the area sample, and 1,096 

were from the list sample. Westat, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland, 

conducted the interviews. Extensive follow-up efforts were used in 

field data collection, and as a result, interviews were initially 

completed for 91 percent of the eligible buildings. Of those interviewed, 

88 percent signed waivers authorizing utility companies to release their 

buildings' consumption records (see Table Al).

Since the field response was so high, only limited additional follow-up 

procedures were initiated. In January 1980, an overall refusal-conver 

sion effort was undertaken. An attempt was made to conduct telephone 

interviews with building owners or managers who had originally refused 

to be interviewed in person. Calls were made to 197 buildings, and of 

these, 83 interviews were completed. As a result of this effort, 

42 percent of the refusals were converted, and the overall response 

rate was raised by 1 percentage point, to 92 percent.

During December 1979, 734 letters were sent to respondents who had. 

completed the interview but did not: sign an authorization form. The?:; 

letters asked them to reconsider their decision. From the waiver-cc :i.v ;: 

sion effort, an additional 108 signed waivers were received, 6 ::af:us, i ; 

were received, and 620 failed to reply. This effort resulted In sn 

overall conversion rate of 17 percent and increased the waiver irespo:MI; :. 

rate by 1 percentage point, to 89 percent.

In addition to these supplemental follow-up efforts, some additional. 

followup was done for a few selected data items that were missing or 

inconsistent in completed questionnaires. Certain items in the buiJ.di:<;; 

questionnaire, such as size, building activity, and the names and 

addresses of fuel suppliers, were designated as being crucial. If a.:<y 

of the crucial items were missing, a telephone call was made to the 

respondent to try to obtain this information as well as any other -n'.':s i: > 

data.

Initial contacts with the building owners and managers were made tiv. on; h 

a letter signed by the EIA Administrator. The letter introduced I:H; d I. i 

collection contractor, stressed the importance of cooperation, and ; ;;«;,]!;: 

the confidentiality of responses.

The building Interviews were conducted between October 1979 and Ja .u 

1980. Respondents were asked about the building as a whole, rathe::1 

Individual establishments located within the building. Professionals :h 

the areas of architecture, building operations, engineering, statiKti':!; , 

and survey research were consulted during the development of the inter 

view questionnaire. The interviews averaged 50 minutes each and covs::r:: 

structural and operational building features; types of heating, coolir:,;;, 

and ventilation systems; fuel used in these systems and patterns of 

usage; and a description of the activities found in the building, /t i 

conclusion of the interview, respondents were asked to sign waivers; 

authorizing Westat, Inc., the data collection contractor, to obtain fuel 

consumption records from the buildings' fuel suppliers.

Nearly 90 percent of the respondents signed waivers to permit fuel 

suppliers to give Westat, Inc., monthly records of their fuel purchase:-: 

for the past 14 months. Information was requested on the amount sold. 

the price of the fuel, the unit of measure, the number of customers.., ::iv 

the billing dates. The suppliers of electricity and natural gas were 

contacted by mail beginning in August 1979. Two letters were sent tc 

each company. The first, signed by the EIA Administrator, explained i.l 

legal authority and need for the data collection. The second letter 

introduced Westat, Inc., and discussed the data collection procedures 

and the kind of information that would be requested. Follow-up ::elepi.:: 

calls were initiated in September 1979 to ensure the receipt of :hs 

letters and to establish a personal contact with the appropriate utiJJ': 

company representative.

After the building interviews were completed and the signed waivers :w. i: 

received, approximately 230 electric and natural gas companies and a">i •••.\ 

1,300 fuel oil and other energy suppliers were identified for 

participation.

At the end of February 1980, each supplier was sent a packet containuig 

instructions and explanations, signed waivers, and data retrieval focfnK 

Follow-up telephone calls were made to the suppliers of electricity , : md 

natural gas in March 1980 to make sure the utility companies received 

the forms, to answer any of their questions, and to obtain an estimated 

completion date. A letter was then sent to confirm the completion di-ice. 

If the data were not received within a week of the completion date, ; 

second telephone call was made to deal with any. problems that might li,:. 1,': 

arisen and to arrange a second date. Suppliers were not required t.j

transcribe data to the survey forms. Any format (such as computer print 

out) providing the required information was acceptable. A telephone 

followup of energy suppliers other than electricity and natural gas 

was implemented in August 1980. Most of the suppliers of LPG, fuel oil, 

and coal had only one customer in the survey. Therefore, it was 

considered feasible to obtain the required information over the telephone. 

During this operation, calls were placed to 429 suppliers, almost 300 of 

which supplied the requested data.

For the Utility Survey, 13,386 questionnaires were mailed to the 1,509 

companies, organizations, and agencies that supplied varying types of 

energy to the 6,222 buildings participating in the Building Survey. Of 

the questionnaires mailed, 534 were determined to be ineligible for the 

Utility Survey. Of the 12,852 eligible cases, there were 11,210 

questionnaires with data, for an overall response rate of 87 percent.

Some buildings had many tenants who were metered and billed separately. 

Interviewers were instructed to obtain lists of tenants in buildings 

where establishments were separately metered. If there were three or 

fewer establishments within a building, the interviewer attempted to 

get a signed waiver for each establishment. In buildings with four or 

more establishments, the building owner or manager was asked to sign a 

waiver releasing the aggregate utility records for the occupants of the 

building.

Companies were asked to supply limited consumption data for those build 

ings where an interview was completed but a signed waiver was not 

obtained. Suppliers were requested to aggregate cost and consumption 

information for a group of buildings and to report a yearly total. 

While energy suppliers will not provide individual building data without 

a waiver, some will provide aggregate data for groups of nonrespondent 

buildings. This information will be used to analyze the potential bias 

introduced by nonresponse and to improve the accuracy of consumption 

estimates in the commercial sector.

Once the sampled zip code groups and segments had been selected, the 

initial field step was to prepare a listing of building addresses 

located within the sampled segments (see "Sample Design"). The sample 

consisted of approximately 400 segments, which were listed by a team of 

85 listers. Supervisors attended a 3-day training session during the 

first week of June 1979. During this session, a combination of slides, 

exercises, lectures, and an actual listing were used as training devices. 

Supervisors were also given an annotated manual that described the ses 

sion. This manual was used as a guidebook to supervisors in order to 

conduct identical training sessions for the listers.

Before their training, each lister received a copy of a Listing Manual 

and a home study package with assignments to be turned in before training 

began. The supervisors trained 85 listers in 2-day sessions conducted in 

nine cities. As soon as possible after the listing procedure began, the 

supervisors relisted at least one segment for each lister. This verifi 

cation provided immediate feedback for the lister and corrected any 

misunderstandings. The check also served to identify any definitional 

problems or procedural weaknesses.

Once all the segments had been listed, the field supervisors relisted 

subsample of 53, not including the segments that had already been c'n,;. 

The relisting showed that less than 1 percent of the buildings had b^ 11 

missed. Buildings were usually missed because of questions concerni :;' 

segment boundaries.

Training for the interview phase began with a 3-day session for Kuce : 

visors and their assistants in September 1979. Approximately 17!) inin: 

viewers were trained in 3-day sessions held during October and Noveabi 

1979. Using a variety of techniques, Westat, Inc., conducted lh<: cr=r 

of both the supervisors and the interviewers. The training material ; 

used included an annotated manual, interactive lectures, role-playia; 

exercises, audiovisual presentations of the interview techniques, anc 

slides relating specific building types to the questionnaire. Tine s.q 

visors and their assistants functioned as small-group leaders during l 

interview training.

The completed questionnaires were initially screened by the field 

supervisors. They were reviewed for completeness, correct identify:L:n.i: 

information, and ambiguities requiring clarification. The supervise •:-•:. 

mailed the completed questionnaires to Westat, Inc., where they ve.rs 

subjected to a similar check. Also at. this time, certain data were 

categorized, and some of the more complex data items, such as open-;:; .<: 

questions, were put into special processing. After the manual ed 11L iithe questionnaires were coded, keypunched, verified, and computer;.zac!, 

A machine edit check was made for reasonable values, proper skip pai;:e 

and logical inconsistencies. Additional edit checks were performed or 

c.onsumption and expenditures data received from the buildings' ener;1 

suppliers. Data retrieval procedures were instituted in cases in. wii;: 

data were incomplete, inconsistent, or unreasonable. In cases in wliu.';: 

data retrieval was not possible, cos'i and consumption estimates u-er :i 

imputed (see Appendix B, "Limitations of the Data").

Two types of weather data are used in conjunction with the building 

interview and consumption data. The first type is the long-term avihi:3;>i ; 

heating degree-days (HDD) and cooling degree-days (ODD) for the Na.tior,;' 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather division in whic': 

the building is located. These data were used in the preparation o: : 

this report. They will be used to analyze the effects of weather or. 

trends in basic building structure and equipment.

The second type of data are the HDD and CDD totals for each building 

by billing period. These totals are calculated by NOAA division So::- \:'~< 

appropriate billing period. For example, one building may be billed on 

the first of the month, while another may be billed on the fifth. Thiiu. 

there are different 30-day averages of HDD and CDD for each billing 

period. These data will allow more complete analysis of fuel consur-.pt. U: 

They will be included in the public-use data tape of the consumption 

file. Analyses of usage patterns and operation characteristics can be. 

undertaken only if the confounding e'-fects of the weather are cor.tro] 1;;'

The amount of data collected fro::;i this survey was reduced by two types >: 

nonresponse: unit nonresponse (s.g tl noninterview) and nonrespor.se t: 

particular items in an otherwise completed interview. As mentioned 

in the section, "Sample Design," unit: nonresponse was handled by 

adjusting the sampling weights of responding buildings. Item nonrespoiu;

for selected building characteristics was treated by imputing data from 

responding cases, using a separate hot—deck procedure for each item. (For 

more information on the imputation procedures used for this survey, see 

Appendix B, "Limitations of the Data.") The only data element for which 

a hot-deck procedure was not used was square footage. For this variable, 

the lister's guess was used, unless that guess was less than 10,000 or 

greater than 100,000 square feet. When the lister's square footage 

estimate was in either of these categories, an average unweighted square 

foot per floor was computed for all responding buildings of the same 

type in the same size class. This value was then multiplied by the 

number of floors in the building of interest to produce an estimate of 

square footage for the building. Most of the imputed building character 

istics items had less than 2-percent nonresponse; two of them (year 

constructed and square footage) had about 3—percent nonresponse, and 

one item (hours of operation) had about 7—percent nonresponse.

Table A2 shows the effect of unit nonresponse adjustment and item 

imputations on estimates of numbers of buildings by square footage 

category and year built. The left column of the table contains the 

estimated numbers using the basic inflation weight without nonresponse 

adjustment and eliminating those buildings whose value for the stub 

variable was imputed. In the center column, the nonresponse adjustment 

has been incorporated into the building weight, but the buildings with 

imputed values are still eliminated. The entries in the right column 

match those in the detailed tables because nonresponse adjustments and 

imputed cases are both included in the estimation procedure.

Data from the Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (NBECS) 

are subject to many sources of sampling error, nonsampling error, and 

bias. Sampling error Is a measure of variability in the data because a 

subset of buildings was surveyed rather than the entire population. 

Because probability sampling was used for the NBECS, estimates of sampling 

error could be computed for survey statistics. These estimates were 

computed using a balanced half-sample replication procedure described 

later in this section of the report. Nonsampling error and bias are 

measures of variability and lack of accuracy in survey data due to the 

conduct of the survey. Components of these error measures include cover 

age bias, respondent bias and response variance, interviewer error, 

coding and/or keypunching error, and nonresponse bias. Survey logistics 

such as wording and format of the survey questionnaires, the procedures 

used to select and train interviewers, and the quality control built 

into the data collection, data receipt, and data processing operations 

were all designed to minimize these sources of error (for discussion of 

these procedures, see Appendix A, "How the Survey Was Conducted"). Even 

so, nonsampling error, especially error due to nonresponse, is of major 

concern for the statistics shown in this: report.Caution should be used 

in analyzing the data, especially in the use of statistical tests of 

hypotheses based on sampling errors only. Readers should be conservative 

in drawing conclusions based on statistical tests of hypotheses. Because 

of the extent of nonresponse for important data items in this survey, 

extensive and rather complex procedures were devised to impute for missing 

data items. The procedures used to adjust for unit nonresponse and impute 

building characteristics have been described in Reference 1, the companion 

to this report, and will not be repeated here. Discussion of consumption 

and cost imputations for fuel oil or kerosene, LPG, and purchased steam 

(the fuels highlighted in this report) is given in the context of the 

procedures used for electricity arid natural gas. Imputation procedures 

for these two fuels are also described in Reference 1. Further infor 

mation on data limitations is given in Reference 2. This appendix also 

discusses the computation and use of sampling errors.

One way to judge the validity of survey estimates is to compare them with 

similar types of estimates from other sources. Unfortunately, since no 

national counts of the nonresidential building stock exists, and since no 

national probability sample surveys of this population are known to have 

been previously undertaken, such comparisons cannot be made for building 

characteristics data. The lack of prior information also made it impos 

sible to use techniques such as ratio estimation or post-stratification 

to improve the survey estimator. However, certain comparisons can be 

made between energy consumption data from this survey and data from 

other sources. The comparisons are mentioned later in this section.

One of the major goals of the NBECS was to produce estimates of energy 

consumption and expenditures (cost) for nonresidential buildings during 

calendar year 1979. To accomplish this, consumption and cost data were 

collected from fuel suppliers. The suppliers were given permission to 

release the data by means of waivers signed by building representatives.

The fuels used in buildings can be split into two major types:

1. Fuels that are transmitted from the suppliers to the

building as needed for immediate use, such as electricity, 

natural gas, and steam. These fuels, referred to as 

continuous delivery fuels, are ordinarily not stored. 

Their consumption is usually measured by meters or 

gauges attached to the transmission medium (wires or 

pipes).

Steam, Fuel OH, LPG, and Ail Fuels

95
nn Appendix B (Continued)

2. Fuels that are delivered in bulk to the building and 

can be stored for future use, such as fuel oil, LPG, 

and coal. These fuels, measured at the time of 

delivery, are referred to as discrete delivery fuels,

Billing for continuous delivery fuels is accomplished by reading the 

gauge(s) or meter(s), usually at regular intervals. The fuel amount :; 

the bill thus represents fuel consumption since the last meter reading 

Discrete delivery fuel bills are based on the amount of fuel deli.ver v; 

The actual consumption occurs later. The delivered amount may or ma;-1 

not equal the amount consumed since the previous delivery.

Ideally, the data for each continuous delivery fuel used in each saaoj. 

building should have been in the form of complete data records for 

consecutive billing periods^ either totally or partially contained 1 i 

calendar year 1979, covering exactly the energy consumed within the 

sampling building. The data for each discrete delivery fuel should :.n 

been in the form of complete data records for all deliveries from 

December 1978 through January 1980. The delivered fuel should have :js: 

used entirely within the sampling building. However, there were seva: 

ways in which the actual data varied from the ideal. The major probi.r 

were:

1. The data covered more than the energy used in the sample 

building. The data could cover such activities as 

consumption in other buildings or consumption for outside 

lighting, signs, security equipment, or other activities; 

affiliated with, but not carried on inside, the sample 

building.

2. The utility would not or .could not provide the cost and/or 

consumption data for some or all billing periods or 

deliveries in 1979. Reasons for missing data include 

utility company refusal; archived, lost, or destroyed 

billing records; and waiver refusal on the part of the 

building respondent.

3. When several sample buildings in an energy supplier service 

area did not grant a waiver allowing individual collection 

of consumption and expenditures data, the supplier was 

asked to supply aggregate data for all such buildings. 

The aggregation procedure was carried out to protect the 

confidentiality of the sample buildings while collecting 

their consumption data,

4. Data were supplied for billing periods or deliveries in 

1979, but the month and/or day of the meter reading or 

delivery was omitted.

5. Most of the cases of complete reporting of 1979 data foi: 

continuous delivery fuels included billing periods that 

overlapped into 1978 and 1980.

IA billing period is the time period between two adjacent estimate.; 

meter readings for purposes of billing a customer. A meter reading :l 

or billing date marks the end of a billing period. The next billirg 

period begins on the following day.

Problems 1 and 3 required disaggregation of fuel consumption. 

Disaggregation was performed for fuel oil or kerosene, LPG, and steam 

consumption in exactly the same way as for electricity and natural gas 

(see Appendix B of Reference 1 for details). Problems 4 and 5, over 

lapping billing periods and missing dates, were handled In exactly the 

same way for steam (a continuous delivery fuel) as they were for 

electricity and natural gas (Reference 1)= Overlapping billing periods 

did not affect the discrete delivery fuels because, for them, all 

deliveries during 1979 were accumulated. There was no such thing as 

an "overlapping delivery," For the same reasons, missing dates did 

not matter for fuel oil or kerosene and LPG records, as long as all 

deliveries in 1979 could be identified.

The remaining problem, missing cost and/or consumption data for some or 

all billing periods or deliveries, was common to all fuels, but the 

procedures used for imputation were somewhat different for the other 

three fuels than they were for electricity and natural gas. Of the 

three fuels highlighted in this report, the fuel whose delivery method 

most closely resembles that of electricity and natural gas is, of course, 

steam, the other continuous delivery fuel. As a matter of fact, many of 

the same utilities that produce/distribute natural gas and electricity 

also distribute steam, which is a byproduct of their other processing 

operations. There the similarities end, however. Whereas electricity 

and natural gas are supplied to a majority of nonresidential buildings, 

steam is supplied to only about 1 percent. Most buildings supplied 

with steam are very large, and the vast majority of buildings that are 

supplied with steam use it for space heating. Also, a large percentage 

of sample buildings supplied with steam had no consumption or cost data 

reported (48 percent or 221 buildings out of 461). The results for 

industrial buildings were especially bad, with complete consumption data 

available for only 3 of 38 sample buildings, and most of the rest having 

no consumption data at all. Because end-use patterns for steam in 

industrial buildings are different from the patterns in commercial 

buildings, EIA felt that steam consumption for industrial buildings 

could not be imputed. Therefore, industrial buildings were excluded 

from the imputation procedures.

Because of the large proportion of cases with missing data and because 

the buildings without data were smaller than the ones with data, regres 

sion procedures to impute for totally missing steam consumption in com 

mercial buildings did not yield adequate results (details of problems 

encountered are discussed in Reference 2). Instead, HIA took the Input 

records for the final attempted steam regression and the records needing 

imputation and sorted them into four strata defined by the predicted 

consumption values. For each imputation record In a stratum, EIA selected 

a random input record from the same stratum and computed its actual 

steam consumption per square foot. That ratio was then multiplied by 

the square footage of the building associated with the Imputation record 

to produce a consumption estimate for the imputation record. Stated 

algebraically, the consumption estimate Q for the imputation record is 

given by

l0 <= i Q i. F t ,

F i

where Qj is the actual 1979 steam consumption for the input record, 

F^ is the square footage of the associated building, and Fp is the 

square footage of the building associated with the imputation record. 

After consumption was imputed, cost was imputed using separate 

unweighted linear regression of cost on consumption for records in 

two classes: consumption <30 million pounds and consumption >30 million 

pounds. The procedures used were exactly the same as those for electri 

city and natural gas. The cost-consumption regressions were well behaved 

and produced quite reasonable results.

Imputations for partially missing steam data were carried out ussing i

the effect of these imputation procedures on total steam consunptio i

set of residuals for the records. However, if a record needing

Buildings Energy Consumption Survey.

1979 Nonresidential

Although consumption and cost imputations for fuel oil or kerosene and 

LPG were carried out for all sample buildings (as was the case for 

electricity and natural gas, but not steam), the statistics in this 

report pertain only to commercial buildings. Buildings that are totally 

or primarily industrial vary enormously in their fuel consumption and 

expenditures, so much so that national consumption and expenditures 

totals for industrial buildings are unpublished. National totals for 

all nonresidential buildings had sampling errors more than twice as 

large as the errors shown for all commercial buildings in this report, 

solely because of the variability inherent in industrial buildings. 

The commercial buildings population upon which this report is largely 

based includes buildings whose main activity or activities are 

commercial, but may also have one or more industrial activities 

occupying a minority of the floor space.

Because no known energy consumption surveys of the U. S. building 

stock had been attempted before the NBECS, there are no other estimates 

of commercial consumption based on statistics collected for the point of 

consumption. However, the Energy Information Administration has published

other statistics on commercial consumption by fuel, in its Monthly Eneo; 

Review (MER), its Annual Report to Congress (ARC), and its State HrTergy 

Data Report (References 3-5). These data are based on utility sales :r 

supply data. Although each of the three data systems uses different 

methods to generate its final estimate, the estimates are sonewhatt 

related. For example, the introduction to the State Energy Data S y s t:» 

(SEDS) Report states that "a prime requisite in the development o: : tha 

SEDS data series was that the summations of State data to national 

totals in SEDS equals as closely as possible the national totals :;cc . ;.- 

energy type and end-use sector that appear in ... the Monthly Energy 

Review (MER),..., and Annual Report to Congress, Volume Two (ARC-2).,"

Comparisons of NBECS consumption estimates for natural gas and electr:l.t: 

with values from these other sources are shown in Reference 1, 

Unfortunately, uniform comparisons with all these sources are not posri : 

for fuel oil or kerosene, LPG, and purchased steam because of problems 

definition and allocation of fuels to sectors. Steam consumption (cr 

production, or sales) is not identified in any other source, and petrol 

products are handled so differently by each of the other three source; 

that it is impossible to make any meaningful comparisons.

One component of total survey error that can be estimated is sampling 

error. However, the complex multistage, multiframe design of a sutvev 

such as the NBECS makes it almost impossible to construct an exac: 

algebraic variance estimator. The method used to produce sampling 

variances for this survey is balanced half sample replication (see 

References 6 and 7). To apply the half-sample technique to this !;uivr; , 

the 79 sample primary sampling units (PSU's) were grouped into 37 sera ;i 

Eighteen of the strata were self-representing; that is, they consisted 

of large metropolitan areas (each represented by one or more sample 

PSU's) that came into the sample with certainty. In these strata, 

segments were divided into two replication groups. Each of the n;msi:i' :: 

19 strata consisted of two or more sample PSU's belonging to the isaire 

Census region. The two replication groups in these strata consisted o i' 

one or more PSU's each.

Variance estimates for survey statistics were created by computing iO 

half-sample estimates for each statistic. Each half-sample estimate ; ":: 

formed by selecting one of the two replication groups from each strst-jr.. 

using an orthogonal matrix technique adapted from an article by Flack;; I: 

and Burman (Reference 8). Then the sampling weights were adjusted so i: 

the half-sample estimates would be essentially unbiased estimates

Use of Error Tables

Appendix B (Continued)

Tables Cl through CIO show relative standard errors for each statistic 

presented In the detailed tables. Certain statistics have been sup 

pressed from both the detailed tables and the error tables because of 

concerns about their sampling variability. They have been replaced by 

entries of "Q" in the appropriate table cells. Each estimate of con 

sumption, expenditures, and average square footage per building whose 

relative standard error exceeded 50 percent was suppressed. In some 

cases, estimates with RSE's under 50 percent were also suppressed if the 

estimates would have stood out in rows of otherwise suppressed data, 

since the acceptability of the estimate may have been due to the insta 

bility of its RSE estimate. All estimates of number of buildings and 

aggregate square footage have been retained to give the reader some 

idea, however rough, of the size of each population subgroup.

There are two types of statistics presented in the text whose errors 

cannot be found in Tables Cl through CIO: percentage statistics and 

statistics for collapsed population subgroups not found in the tables. 

The relative standard errors of percentage statistics P'= X'/Y' were 

computed using the formula

RSE (P') = [RSE (X 1 )] 2 - [RSE(Y')] 2 .

For example, the last two sentences of the third paragraph under the 

heading "Fuel Oil" in the "Summary of Findings" state that 20 percent 

(+ 3) of the buildings supplied with fuel oil use it for water heating. 

The statistic is based on a numerator of 169,000 buildings and a 

denominator of 815,000 buildings (Table 6). From Table C6 the RSE's 

of these two estimates are 13.1 percent and 10.3 percent, respectively, 

so that the RSE of the ratio is estimated by

RSE (P') (0.131) 2 - (0.103) 2 - 0.081.

The two standard error interval around the 20-percent estimate is of 

width (20) (0.081) (2) = 3 percent, the value given in parentheses 

following the statistic.

The relative standard error of an estimate for a collapsed population 

subgroup was approximated by the relative standard error of the same 

type of statistic with about the same value, for a population subgroup 

with a similar estimated number of buildings. For example, the first 

paragraph in the "Building Type" section of the "Summary of Findings" 

states that office buildings, retail sales and service buildings, and 

warehouse and storage buildings together consumed 43 percent 0+3) of 

the total energy used in commercial buildings. These three building 

types comprise an estimated 1,679,000 buildings and an estimated 2.324 

quadrillion Btu of consumption (Table 2). The population subgroup 

with the consumption estimate closest to this value is buildings for 

which weatherstripping or caulking has been added since 1974, with an 

estimated 2.297 quadrillion Btu consumed by 1,435,000 buildings. Since 

the number of buildings in this subgroup is reasonably close to the 

combined total for three building types, the estimated RSE of 0.075 for 

the consumption estimate (Table C2) is used as the RSE of the 2.324 

value for the combined building types. Total commercial consumption, an 

estimated 5.457 quadrillion Btu, has an RSE of 0.064 (Tables 2 and C2); 

therefore, the RSE for the 43-percent estimate is given by

RSE (0.43) = (0.075) 2 _ (0.064) 2 = 0.039,

and the two standard error interval around the estimate is of width 

(43) (0.039) (2) = 3 percent, the value given in parentheses.

Using Error Estimates to 

Test Statistical Hypotheses

102

Appendix B (Continyed)

The analytical statements in this report can be divided into threa t.ypf 

The first type is the expository statement, which presents a statistic 

for its own sake, without reference or comparison to any other statist 

An example of such a statement is found in sentence 3 of the second 

paragraph in the "Summary of Findings," "Average consumption was 1.15, 

Btu per square foot ( + 10,000) and 85 million Btu per employee (+ 9),' 

No statistical tests of hypothesis are needed or were performed for s<v 

statements; twice the standard error is given in parentheses after th:?. 

estimate. This value serves as a measure of the level of variability 

the statistic and allows the reader to compute an approximate 95-perc.u 

confidence interval for the estimate by adding and subtracting th« \'i .. 

in parentheses.

The second type of statement is the descriptive statement, which .is 

intended as a summary statement of a data relationship or relationshipthat exist in a table. An example of this type of statement is found i 

the first sentence of the second to last paragraph in the "Fuel Oil" 

section of the "Summary of Findings": "Fuel oil buildings that had 

undertaken conservation measures usually had lower estimates of con 

sumption per square foot than those that: did not (although the 

differences were not significant)." Such statements are meant to givegeneral impressions and are not subject to statistical justification,

The third, and most commonly occurring type of statement, is the stEil.ec 

or implied comparison between two or more statistics. Such comparison; 

are meant to point out specific similarities and differences between 

population subgroups, sometimes in support of the summary statements 

discussed earlier. Since these statements imply specific relationship 

among population subgroups based on sample data, they are inferential 

and subject to statistical testing. Examples of such comparisons are

1. The last sentence in the "Building Type" section: "'die 

average price per million Btu varied widely by building 

type, ranging from $5.02 (+ $0*54) for health care buildings to $8.30 (+ $1.28) for office buildings."

2. The second sentence of the third paragraph in the "Location" 

section: "Average per building consumption and 

expenditures were about twice as high for buildings 

in the Northeast ... as in the South and West regions."

The test used to check this kind of statement is the standard normal 

deviate test. To test the significance of the difference between 

estimates X' and Y 1 , X' and Y' are assumed to be normally distributed ! 

appeal to the Central Limit Theorem. Then the test statistic

X 1 Y (

is computed, with Z having approximately a standard normal distributior 

The null hypothesis, that there is no difference between X' and Y', :.; 

rejected if Zjji y' is greater than some critical value G. In this 

report, G is set so that the level of significance of the test (the 

probability of incorrectly detecting a significant difference) is 0,0j» 

Ordinarily, this level of significance corresponds to a critical value 

of 1.96, and when a comparison is the only possible one of its type, 

1.96 is the correct value. However, most of the statements in this 

report involve comparisons that were selected from a larger set of G 

possible comparisons, each of which had an opportunity to be tested a:r!

falsely yield a significant difference. To attain a true level of signi 

ficance no greater than 0.05 for a particular test from such a set, the 

critical value G was adjusted so that the probability of falsely detecting 

any significant difference was 0.05/C. The rationale for this adjustment 

is based on the Bonferroni inequality, which is discussed elsewhere (see 

References 9 and 10).

The normal test of a hypothesis with adjusted critical value can be 

applied to the examples as follows:

1. The range statement for price variability (for all

five fuels combined) implies a significant difference 

between the two prices shown. The number of possible 

comparisons among the 12 building-type categories 

is the combinational (| ) = 66, so the critical 

value for the test is the normal two-tailed 0.05/66 = 

0.00076 critical value, which, from the normal tables, 

is 3.40.

The test statistic for the comparison is 

$8.30 - $5.02 3.28

($0.64) 2 + ($0.27) 2 0.70

= 4.69.

The Z value exceeds the critical value of 3.40, so the 

difference is significant and the statement is 

justified.

The total number of possible regional comparisons for each of the two 

statistics is the combinational (2) = 6, so the total number of 

possible comparisons is 12. The critical value for all tests is, 

therefore, the normal two-tailed 0.05/12 = 0.42 critical value, which, 

from the normal tables, is 2.865.

Utility Forms
E

This appendix contains samples of the survey forms used to obtain 

consumption and expenditures data from the buildings' energy suppliers. 

The actual forms used were color-coded by fuel type. The color is 

indicated by a letter in the form number, i.e. . "Y" stands for yellow 

(electricity), "B" for blue (natural gas) , "P" for pink (fuel oil), and 

"G" for green (all other fuels).

For each fuel type, there were five forms, each covering a different 

situation. Form 1 (included here) was for an individual building with 

a single occupant. Form 2 was for an individual building with multiple 

occupants where a single waiver was obtained for the entire building. 

Form 3 covered individual buildings with multiple occupants where a 

waiver was obtained for each occupant. Form 4 covered individual 

buildings with multiple occupants where waivers were obtained for 

some, but not all occupants. Form 5 was for a group of buildings in 

the supplier's service area for which no waivers were obtained.

Central Heating Systems. This heating equipment category represents two 

types of systems depending upon the location of the system. A central 

system located within the building (such as a furnace or a boiler) 

generates the heat but depends upon an additional system to distribute 

the heat. A central system located outside the building converts energy to 

a heated substance such as steam or hot water, which is then distributed to 

the heated parts of the building by a separate system wholly contained 

within the building.

Combination Air-Conditioning Systems are air-cooling systems composed of 

various types of equipment that are either combinations of window units, 

package units, or central systems.

Commercial Buildings are all nonresidential buildings with the exception of 

those where industrial activities occupy more of the total square footage 

than any other type of activity (see Nonresidential Buildings).

Conservation Practices refer to three types of actions that building owners 

or occupants may initiate, manually or automatically, to reduce the amount 

of energy consumed to heat or cool a building. The actions include 

reducing the heat or the cooling produced when the building is not in full 

use and having a regular maintenance program for the heating and/or 

air-conditioning systems.

Consumed refers to the amount of energy used by or delivered to the 

building during the 365-day period of calendar year 1979.

Cooling Degree-Days refer to the number of degrees the average daily 

temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Normally, cooling is not 

required in a building when the outdoor average daily temperature is below 

65 degrees. Cooling degree-days are determined by subtracting the base of 

65 from the average daily temperature. For example, a day with an average 

temperature of 85 degrees has 20 cooling degree-days (85-65=20), while one 

with an average daily temperature of 65 degrees or lower has none.

Cubic foot (cu. ft.) is the amount of gas contained in a cube whose edge is 

one foot.

Electricity refers to the electric power supplied to a building by a 

central utility via underground or aboveground powerlines. It does not 

refer to electric power generated onsite for the exclusive use of the 

building. In this case, the fuel used for the generator would be 

indicated.

Energy Suppliers are the companies that provide electricity, natural gas, 

fuel oil; coal, or other forms of energy to the buildings and to the 

individual customers within the buildings.

Establishment, as defined by the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 

is "an economic unit, generally, at a single physical location where 

business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are

performed." <

Expenditures refer to the cost of energy consumed during the 365-day period 

of calendar year 1979. The total dollar amount includes State and local 

taxes, fuel adjustment charges, system charges, and demand charges. The 

total dollar amount excludes merchandise, repair charges, service 

charges, and any other charges not specifically requested. If the building 

(or separately billed establishments within a building) receives a budgeted 

bill, the budgeted bill is not provided. Instead, the actual consumption 

and expenditures are provided.

Forced Hot Air refers to a heat distribution system consisting of two typ: 

of units that distribute heat via fans: (1) a self-contained air-hand] i r; 

unit serving only a part of the building, and (2) a single central airhandling unit separate from the energy conversion system that distribnt ; •'.> 

air throughout the building through ducts.

Fuel Oil refers to distillate fuel oil (No. 1, No. 2, or No. 4), resiiki; . !. 

fuel oil (No. 5 or No. 6), or kerosene that is burned for space-or walerheating purposes.

Glass as a Percentage of Exterior Surface refers to the proportion of. ;;!.j; : 

to the exterior wall structure of the surface.

Heating Degree-Days refer to the number: of degrees the average daily 

temperature is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Normally, heating is not: 

required in a building when the outdoor average daily temperature is .ib;; ,' 

65 degrees. Heating degree-days are determined by subtracting the avc^ra;;; 

daily temperature below 65 degrees from the base 65. For example, a '!<.;• 

with an average temperature of 50 degrees has 15 heating degrees (65- 

50=15), while one with an average daily temperature of 65 degrees or hi;;;-:: 

has none.

Hours of Operation During a Typical Weak refer to the number of hours •;>;- c 

week that a building is occupied by regular employees (employees 

responsible for carrying out the primary activity or activities of th :; 

building) and excludes hours when the building is occupied only by 

maintenance, security, or other support personnel. Many buildings do vi::i: 

maintain the same hours of operation during the year. Alternate schaiK:';: 

were reported for these buildings, but for this report "hours of operal j 

refer to the schedule followed most often. Other buildings do not hav;: ;: i 

regular schedule of hours, are open intermittently or by appointment .inly. 

or are open without being staffed (this last category includes automat > 

bank tellers and roadside rest stops), These buildings were recorded a;- 

having zero operating hours, according to the definition given by the 

questionnaire, even though they were not vacant.

Imputation is a statistical method used to estimate the response to 

specific unanswered questions that should have been answered or were 

unknown at the time of the interview.

Insulation is any material (such as fiberglass, foam, loose fill, etc. '. 

which, when placed between the interior of the building and the outdoo 

environment, reduces the amount of heat or cold lost to the environment

kWh (kilowatt-hour) is a unit of work or energy equal to that expended :.". 

one kilowatt (100 watts) in one hour.

Kerosene is a generic name referring to a distilled product of oil or :•.-.:• 

Kerosene is similar to No. 1 distillate fuel oil and is used for spac« 

heating, water heating, cooking, or lighting.

LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas is any gas fuel supplied to a building in 

liquid form. It is usually delivered by tank truck and stored near :;h. : 

building in a tank or a cylinder until used. Propane and butane are 

liquefied petroleum gases.

Nonresidential Building is a roofed and walled structure that is used for 

some purpose other than just residential. The scope of this definition is 

quite broad and includes some buildings that are primarily residential (as 

well as commercial and industrial buildings). The term "residential" 

applies to structures where the primary activity is that of a dwelling for 

one or more households. Residential buildings were within the scope of the 

survey if they showed evidence of some kind of commercial or industrial 

activity. For example, a residential building, such as an apartment 

building, which also contained some obvious nonresidential activity, such 

as a store or an office, was considered a nonresidential building for the 

purposes of this survey. For a private residence to have been selected for 

this survey, it had to have a sign (large enough to be visible from the 

street) advertising the presence of some commercial or industrial 

activity.

Number of People Working in the Building is the normal number of people 

working in the building during a typical workday or during most of the 

year.

Number of Floors is the count of building levels in the tallest section of 

the building including parking areas, basements, or other floors below 

ground level.

Outside Shading includes window awnings or other features of the building 

that shade the exterior windows and thereby reduce the rate of solar 

penetration into the building. The outside shading may have been installed 

at the time of construction or since construction (retrofitted). In some 

buildings, outside shading may have been installed both at the time of 

construction and since construction. These buildings are reported in both 

categories. As a result, the total number of buildings for which outside 

shading is currently present is not a simple sum of these two categories.

Package Units refer to air-conditioning units that are built and assembled 

at a factory and installed as a unit to cool all, or portions of, a 

building.

Reduced Cooling refers to the manual or automatic reduction in the cooling 

produced by the air-conditioning system during the hours a building is not 

in full use. Buildings without air-conditioning systems or with only 

window air-conditioning units are reported as "Not Applicable."

Reduced Heating refers to the manual or automatic reduction in the heat 

produced by the heating system during the hours a building is not in full 

use. Buildings that do not have heating systems are reported as "Not 

Applicable."

Regular Maintenance refers to a systematic program for checking the heating 

and/or air-conditioning equipment on a regular basis (at least once a 

year), even if there are no apparent problems. Buildings that lack both
