Introduction

This Is the third 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 first two reports 

were: Nonresidential Buildings Energy Consumption Survey: Building 

Characteristics (DOE/EIA-0246) and Nonresidential Buildings Energy 

Consumption Survey: Fuel Characteristics and Conservation Practices 

(DOE/EIA-0278).The NBECS was designed and developed and is now being 

analyzed by the EMEU. This is the first time that either the public or 

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

sample of nonresidential buildings across the country. Subsequent reports 

will cover energy consumption and expenditures for other fuels (fuel 

oil, LPG, steam, and coal) and for all fuels and methodological issues.^

This report presents data on square footage and on consumption and 

expenditures for natural gas and electricity for commercial buildings in 

the contiguous United States.2 "Commercial buildings" includes all 

nonresidential buildings with the exception of those where industrial 

activities occupy more of the total square footage than any other type 

of activity. "Nonresidential buildings" has been defined as roofed and 

walled structures which house some kind of commercial or industrial 

activity (see Glossary). Buildings which were primarily residential but 

showed evidence of commercial or industrial activities were also within 

the scope of the survey. Information on building characteristics was 

collected through personal interviews with building representatives 

between October 1979 and January 1980. Energy consumption and 

expenditure data for calendar year 1979 were collected from the 

buildings' energy suppliers using self-administered forms. A summary of 

the survey design, data collection procedures, and techniques used to 

convert the sample data to national estimates is found in Appendix A (How 

the Survey was Conducted).^

1-The Energy Information Administration's NBECS II survey will revisit 

the NBECS buildings to determine what, if any, changes have occurred in 

the buildings' structural or operational characteristics since January 

1980. In addition, energy consumption and expenditure information for 

1982 and 1983 will be collected from the buildings' energy suppliers. 

NBECS II will also update the original building sample with a sample of 

buildings constructed since mid-1979 when the original NBECS sample was 

drawn. The field work for NBECS II is scheduled for February through 

May 1983. The entire series of NBECS reports will be repeated begin 

ning with an updated Building Characteristics report which should be 

available in 1984.

are presented on total square footage for the commerical and 

nonresidential building sectors (as of January 1, 1980) and on 

consumption and expenditures for natural gas and electricity (for 

calendar year 1979). The tables present data from the final interview 

and consumption files, both of which contain imputations for missing 

data (see the section on the Limitations of the Data for a description 

of the imputation procedures utilized).

-'Because the data came from a sample of nonresidential 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 

this 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.

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Introduction (Continued)

The data are presented in three basic sets of tables. The first set 

(Tables 1 and 2) displays average, median, and total square footage by 

selected building characteristics. These building characteristics 

include: end use, location, structural features, use and occupancy char 

acteristics, types of heating and cooling systems, and conservation 

practices. The second set (Tables 3-10) presents total and average 

consumption and expenditures for natural gas and electricity by the same 

building characteristics. The final set (Tables 11-19) gives the 

consumption and expenditure information separately for each of three 

size classes of buildings: 5,000 square feet or less, 5,001-10,000 

square feet, and over 10,000 square feet. Also included in this 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 glossary.

The sample size for this report is 5,585 buildings. A series of weights 

was applied to each of the sample units to allow estimates to be made of 

the universe. After weighting, the universe, as of January 1, 1980, was 

estimated to be 3,995,000 commercial buildings in the contiguous United 

States. The Btu conversion factors used for this survey were 3,412 

Btu/kilowatt-hour for electricity and 1,019 Btu/cubic foot for natural 

gas.

The procedures and definitions used in this survey may make it difficult 

to compare NBECS square footage estimates to estimates of square footage 

from other sources. First, the question used to elicit square footage 

from the respondent was worded as follows: "What is the total square 

footage of all the space enclosed within the exterior walls of this 

building? Again, please include indoor parking facilities and basements, 

and all space such as hallways, lobbies, stairways, and elevator shafts." 

This definition would not be comparable to one based on the concept of 

"rentable floorspace," or "usable floorspace." Second, as mentioned 

above, any building which showed evidence of commercial or industrial 

activity was eligible for inclusion in the survey, including buildings 

which were primarily residential. Square footage was obtained and repor 

ted for the entire building, not just for the commercial portion. Build 

ings which were totally or primarily industrial, while eligible for 

inclusion in the survey, were not included in this report (except for 

Table 2).

Caution should be exercised when comparing the NBECS consumption data for 

buildings to consumption estimates for the commercial sector (see 

Limitations of the Data for comparisons with other data sources). The 

population of commercial buildings is not equivalent to the commercial 

sector. The commercial sector includes a sizable population of nonbuildings which are consumers of energy. Some examples of these nonbuildings would be: street lights, pumps, bridges, swimming pools, con 

struction sites, etc. The NBECS, which sampled buildings, cannot 

estimate the total consumption of the commercial sector, as it does not 

measure the consumption of nonbuildings.

Energy Information Administration
Square Footage

Summary of Findings

Tables 1 and 2 present the same square footage information for two 

different populations, commercial and nonresidential buildings, respec 

tively. The difference between the two tables is that Table 2 includes 

industrial buildings while Table 1 does not. The consumption and expendi 

ture tables in this report (Tables 3-19) are given for commercial build 

ings only. Industrial buildings, which were included in the first two 

reports of this series (Building Characteristics and Fuel Characteristics 

and Conservation Practices - see inside cover for complete citation), 

were excluded from the consumption and expenditure section of this report. 

These buildings were excluded due to poor coverage of industrial buildings 

and extreme variability in their consumption estimates. Therefore, 

the discussion section of this report will be limited to commercial 

buildings.

The approximately 4 million commercial buildings in the contiguous United 

States contain a total of 47.7 (+ 5.7)^ billion square feet (see 

Glossary for definitions of terms used). Due to the skewed distribution 

of these buildings (over half contained 5,000 square feet or less), two 

commonly used summary measures, the average and the median, present very 

different pictures. As of January 1, 1980, the average commercial build 

ing contained nearly 12,000 square feet (11,900 +; 1,000) while the median 

commercial building had only a third of the average at slightly under 

4,000 square feet (3,900 + 400). The average is heavily influenced by 

large buildings, while the median is not. The median probably gives a 

more accurate picture of what the "typical" building is like, while the 

average may be more useful for looking at consumption data.

Figure 1 compares average and median square footage for various types of 

heating fuels. Steam buildings are by far the largest with an average of 

82,300 square feet (+ 23,400) and a median square footage of 30,100 

(+ 7,800). Buildings which are heated'with natural gas or fuel oil tend 

to be slightly larger than average while buildings heated with LPG or 

wood tend to be smaller than the average.

The average number of square feet per building by region ranges from 

16,100 (+ 2,600) in the Northeast to 9,600 (+ 1,300) in the South. 

Figure 2 shows that buildings in the Northeast account for 17 percent 

(+ 4) of all commercial buildings and 24 percent (+_ 4) of the total 

square footage. On the other hand, buildings in the South comprise 

37 percent (+ 6) of all buildings and 30 percent (+ 6) of total floorspace. In other words, buildings in the Northeast tend to be larger 

than average, while buildings in the South tend to be smaller than 

average.

Figure 3 gives the average and median square footage by type of building. 

Health care and education buildings tend to be the largest while food 

sales and automotive sales and service buildings are the smallest. The 

average and median square footage for health care buildings differ by a 

factor of approximately 7, indicating that while some health care build 

ings are extremely large, most are quite small. An estimated 69 percent 

(+ 6) of the total square footage of commercial buildings is concentrated 

among five building types: assembly, education, office, retail sales 

and service, and warehouse and storage.

*The values shown after estimates given in the text represent two 

standard errors of the estimate. An explanation of measures of 

variability and their uses is given in Appendix B (Limitations of the 

Data).

Summary of Findings (Continued)

Generally speaking, the greater the number of different fuels used In a 

building, the larger the building. For example, in 20 percent (+_ 6) of 

the buildings, electricity is the only fuel used, but these buildings 

account for only 12 percent (+ 2) of the total commercial square footage. 

In other words, smaller buildings are more likely to use a single energy 

source. Eleven percent (+2) of the buildings use three fuels; however, 

these buildings contain 26 percent (+ 4) of the total square footage.

Buildings that are partially heated or cooled have larger than average 

square footage, while unheated and uncooled buildings have smaller than 

average square footage. Also, the more complex heating and cooling 

systems tend to be found in larger-than-average buildings. As might be 

expected, the average square footage of multiple establishment buildings 

is larger than that of single establishment buildings. Both the number 

of employees and the number of hours a building is open are positively 

associated with average building size. Buildings that had weatherstripping and/or caulking installed since 1974 had larger average square 

footage than those that did not, but for the most part, undertaking 

conservation efforts does not seem to be related to building size. 

Reducing heating and cooling were the most popular conservation 

practices. Heating was reduced during "off" hours in 83 percent (+ 3) 

of heated buildings, which contained 81 percent (+3) of the square 

footage in heated buildings. Reduced cooling took place in 58 percent 

of cooled buildings, which contained 67 percent {+ 4) of the square 

footage In cooled buildings.

Table 3 gives the combined consumption and expenditures for natural gas 

and electricity for commerical buildings which use one or both of these 

fuels. Total natural gas and electricity consumption for commerical 

buildings in 1979 was an estimated 4.449 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.543). 

Overall consumption by region varied from 1.722 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.351) 

in the North Central region to 0.545 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.159) in the 

West.

Combined natural gas and electricity consumption and its component parts 

by building type are given in Figures 4 and 5. The highest overall 

consumers were office buildings (0.841 quadrillion Btu +_ 0.135), retail 

sales and service buildings (0.595 quadrillion Btu +; 0.162) and warehouse 

and storage buildings (0.563 quads + 0.229).

Approximately 45 percent (+3) of the total commercial consumption of 

natural gas and electricity was concentrated in these three building 

types. The lowest consumption estimates were for lodgings (0.225 

quadrillion Btu + 0.072), primarily residential (.186 quadrillion 

Btu + 0.061) and automotive sales and service buildings (0.172 

quadrillion Btu + 0.044).

Buildings that used natural gas for any of the end uses listed (with the 

exception of cooking) consumed substantially more (of natural gas and 

electricity combined) per square foot than buildings using electricity. 

Buildings in the North Central region consumed significantly more per 

square foot (113,000 Btu + 19,000) than buildings in any other region. 

Overall consumption per employee was also highest in the North Central 

region at 88 million Btu (+ 14 million) per employee. Regional 

variations in the average expenditures per building were considerable, 

ranging from $12,700 (+ $3,800) for buildings in the Northeast to $6,300 

(+ $2,500) for buildings in the West.

Summary of Findings (Continued)

Figures 6 and 7 present two summary measures, consumption per square foot 

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

measures show very different pictures. Health care and food sales build 

ings have the highest overall consumption (of natural gas and electricity 

combined) per square foot with 179,000 (+ 40,000) and 173,000 Btu 

(+ 25,000), respectively. At the other end of the spectrum are assembly, 

education, vacant and primarily residential buildings. Building types 

that tend to be large, but have relatively few employees, such as ware 

houses, assembly, and lodging buildings have high levels of consumption 

per employee. Office buildings have by far the lowest consumption per 

employee at 36 million Btu (+ 7 million) followed by retail sales and 

service buildings. Both of these latter building types are relatively 

dense in terms of the ratio of employees to space.^

Building size is negatively associated with consumption per square foot. 

Figure 9 shows that, for the most part, as building size increases, con 

sumption per square foot decreases, from 285,000 Btu (+ 50,000) for 

buildings of 1,000 square feet or less to 84,000 Btu (+ 8,000) for 

buildings over 50,000 square feet.6 It is interesting to note that the 

other summary measure of consumption, average amount consumed per 

employee, does not appear to be related to building size.

Figure 11 gives consumption per square foot by year built for natural gas 

and electricity, both overall and disaggregated. Overall consumption per 

square foot ranged from 120,000 Btu (+ 24,000) in buildings constructed 

between 1971 - 1973 to 67,000 (+ 14,000) in buildings constructed between 

1901 - 1920. Consumption of natural gas per square foot does not display 

any discernible pattern in terms of year constructed. On the other hand, 

electricity consumption per square foot displays a definite age effect; 

for the most part, average consumption decreases as building age 

increases.

Both consumption per square foot and consumption per employee tend to be 

higher for single establishment buildings than for multiple establishment 

buildings. This finding, however, may be due to the relative sizes of 

single and multiple establishment buildings, i.e., multiple establishment 

buildings tend to be larger. The previously noted association between 

building size and consumption per square foot is reversed when we look 

at hours of operation (compare Figures 12 and 13 with Figure 9). Both 

building size and consumption per square foot tend to increase with the 

number of hours a building is open.

Average natural gas and electricity consumption does not appear to be 

related to most of the conservation measures listed with the exception 

of reduced cooling. Buildings where cooling was reduced when the 

building was not in full operation consumed significantly less for each 

of the summary measures (average amount per building, per square foot, 

and per employee) than buildings where the level of cooling was not 

reduced.

relative contributions of natural gas and electricity to overall 

consumption per square foot may be estimated by deleting the 

contribution of electricity (see Figure 8 or Table 7) from the totals 

given in Figure 6. The remainder will approximate the contribution of 

natural gas, since virtually all buildings supplied with natural gas are 

also supplied with electricity.

relative contributions of natural gas and electricity may be 

estimated using Figure 10 in the same way as discussed above.

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Natural Gas

Summary of Findings (Continued)

Table 5 presents 1979 natural gas consumption and expenditure data for 

commercial buildings which used natural gas (approximately 56 percent 

(+ 6) of the commercial building stock). An estimated 90 percent (+ 3) 

of" the total natural gas consumption of 2.357 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.372) 

was consumed in buildings that used natural gas for heating. Natural 

gas buildings tended to be slightly larger than the average commercial 

building at 14,900 square feet (4- 1,500). The average natural gas 

building consumed 1,046 million Btu (+ 188 million) overall and 70,000 

Btu (+ 9,000) per square foot. Commercial buildings spent an estimated 

6.4 billion dollars (+ 0.9 billion) for natural gas in 1979, an 

average expenditure of $2,800 (+ $400) per building or $2.70 (+ $0.13) 

per million Btu.

Nearly half of the total commercial natural gas consumption (1.062 

quadrillion Btu + 0.280) took place in buildings in the North Central 

region. Average consumption per square foot and per employee tended to 

be higher for the North Central region than for any other region; however, 

not all differences were significant at the 5 percent level (see 

Appendix B: Limitations of the Data). The average expenditure per 

building ranged from $3,400 (+ $600) for the Northeast to $2,300 (+ $600) 

for the South.

Figure 5 gives total natural gas consumption by building type. 

Consumption ranged from 0.354 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.076) for office build 

ings to .109 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.031) for lodgings and 0.110 quadrillion 

Btu (+ 0.032) for automotive sales and service buildings.

The largest estimate of consumption per square foot (137,000 Btu + 55,000) 

was for buildings classified as "other" (see Figure 14). This category 

is made up of a number of different building classes (e.g., parking 

garages, mixed-use buildings, laboratories, police and fire stations, 

etc. - see Glossary for a complete listing), none of which appeared 

often enough in the sample to stand alone. Health care and food sales 

buildings also had high levels of consumption per square foot (125,000 

Btu + 44,000 and 119,000 Btu + 22,000, respectively).

Average natural gas consumption per square foot varied enormously by 

building size (see Figure 10) ranging from 286,000 Btu (+ 79,000) for 

buildings of 1,000 square feet or fewer to 52,000 Btu (+ 9,000) for 

buildings over 25,000 square feet. Average natural gas consumption per 

building ranged from 185 million Btu (+ 51 million ) for the smallest 

buildings to 7,116 million Btu (+ 1,053 million) for buildings over 

50,000 square feet.

For single establishment buildings, the presence or absence of the owner 

was not related to natural gas consumption per square foot or per 

employee. For multiple establishment buildings, both measures were 

somewhat lower when the building owner was present, but the differences 

were not significant at the 5 percent level. Multiple establishment 

buildings consumed considerably less for both of these summary measures 

than did single establishment buildings.

Buildings where weatherstripping and/or caulking had been installed 

consumed significantly less per square foot than buildings where this 

conservation measure was not taken. Surprisingly, average consumption 

per square foot did not appear to be affected by the addition of 

insulation.

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Summary of Findings (Continued)

ElGCtHclty Table 7 gives 1979 electricity consumption and expenditures data for 

commercial buildings that used electricity (approximately 97 percent 

(+ 3) of all commercial buildings). The estimated total commercial 

consumption of electricity for 1979 was 2.092 quadrillion Btu (+ 0.293) 

or 613 billion kWh (+ 86 billion). The average commercial building 

consumed 541 million Btu (+ 71 million) or 44,000 Btu (+ 5,000) per 

square foot. Average expenditures for electricity in 1979 were $6,800 

(+ $1,000) per building or $12.48 (+ $0.92) per million Btu.

The South and North Central regions accounted for approximately two-thirds 

of the total commercial electricity consumption for 1979 (these regions 

also had approximately two—thirds of the total number of commercial 

buildings). Average consumption per square foot ranged from 51,000 Btu 

(+ 11,000) for the South to 38,000 Btu (+ 9,000) for the West; however, 

the difference between the two regions was not significant at the 

5 percent level. Once again, buildings in the Northeast paid substantial 

ly more than did buildings in the other regions. The average expenditure 

per building for electricity ranged from $10,500 (+ $3,300) for the 

Northeast to $4,900 (+ $2,400) for buildings in the West. Average 

expenditures per million Btu ranged from $15.43 (+ $1.94) for the 

Northeast to $10.78 (+ $2.26) for the West.

Figure 5 gives total electricity consumption by building type. Office 

buildings had the highest estimate of total consumption (0.486 quadril 

lion Btu +_ 0.111), followed by retail sales and service buildings (0.292 

quadrillion Btu + 0.109) and warehouse and storage buildings (0.262 

quadrillion Btu + 0.068). The lowest electricity consumers were auto 

motive sales and service buildings (0.063 quadrillion Btu +_ 0.018) and 

primarily residential buildings (0.063 quadrillion Btu + 0.019). 

Consumption per square foot estimates were highest for food sales build 

ings at 100,000 Btu (+ 21,000) followed by health care buildings (69,000 

Btu + 16,000—see Figure 8). Assembly and primarily residential build 

ings had the lowest estimates of average consumption per square foot 

(24,000 Btu + 9,000 and 19,000 Btu + 4,000, respectively).

Once again, average consumption per square foot was highest for buildings 

of 1,000 square feet or less (182,000 Btu + 55,000—see Figure 10). 

Unlike natural gas, however, there is no discernible pattern relating 

building size to consumption per square foot for buildings over 5,000 

square feet.

Average electricity consumption per square foot is positively related to 

the percentage of the building cooled, ranging from 25,000 Btu (+ 6,000) 

for buildings with no air conditioning to 65,000 Btu (+ 8,000) for build 

ings entirely air conditioned. The type and complexity of the air condi 

tioning system used is also related to electricity consumption per square 

foot. Buildings with window units or no air conditioning consumed an 

average of 25,000 Btu per square foot (+ 4,000), while buildings with 

combination systems used an average of 65,000 Btu per square foot (+ 

15,000). ~~

Average electricity consumption per square foot was remarkably stable 

across all occupancy types. There were no significant differences 

between single and multiple establishment buildings or between buildings 

where the owner was or was not an occupant. Generally speaking, the 

greater the number of employees, the higher the consumption per square 

foot. The average ranged from 29,000 Btu (.+_ 5,000) for buildings with 

fewer than 10 employees to 62,000 Btu (+ 10,000) for buildings with 100 

or more employees.

Introduction

Sample Design

How the Survey Was 

Conducted

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 multi-stage, 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 over 1.85 million were designated as self-repre 

senting; that is, they were chosen with certainty. The remaining nonselfrepresenting PSU's were placed in strata on the basis of metropolitan 

status, region, rate of growth from 1960 to 1970, percent of black 

population, and a measure of socio-economic status. The 79 sample PSU's 

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 one percent of all segments in 

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

(Continued)

equal chance of being selected. In zip code groups with measures of size 

of 6 or more, the segments were compact areas. It was feasible to define 

area segments within these selected zip code groups on the basis 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 group.

Nonresidential buildings (excluding farm buildings) were selected from 

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

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

nonresidential building was defined as a structure that (1) was totally 

enclosed by walls that extend from the foundation to the roof line, and 

(2) 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 on 

observation of descriptive information related to energy usage, including 

square footage and general use. This information was used to categorize 

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

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

than 6) from which approximately 5,800 buildings were selected for a 

personal interview. Subsampling fractions from the one percent sample 

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

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 the advance preparation 

of 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 floor space in PSU's that 

are 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 was compiled from existing lists of 

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

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

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 them 

were included in the sample with varying probabilities depending on 

their sizes. In those cases where the selected unit consisted of a 

cluster of buildings, the individual buildings were listed and subsampled 

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: (1) duplication; (2) incorrect or multiple listings; 

(3) sampled structure failed to meet the building definition; and (4) 

the sampled structure was demolished after the list was prepared. Dupli 

cation 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 buildings 

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. Secondly, since 

the list of large buildings was obtained through telephone contacts,

(Continued)

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: (1) reflect the 

reciprocals of the probabilities of selection, and (2) 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. These 

letters asked them to reconsider their decision. From the waiver-conver 

sion effort, an additional 108 signed waivers were received, 6 refusals 

were received, and 620 failed to reply. This effort resulted in an 

overall conversion rate of 17 percent and increased the waiver response 

rate by 1 percentage point, to 89 percent.

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

follow-up was done for a few selected data items that were missing or 

inconsistent in completed questionnaires. Certain items in the building 

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

of fuel suppliers, were designated as being crucial. If any 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 missing data.

Initial contacts with the building owners and managers were made through 

a letter signed by the EIA Administrator. The letter introduced the data 

collection contractor, stressed the importance of cooperation, and assured 

the confidentiality of responses.

The building interviews were conducted between October 1979 and January 

1980. Respondents were asked about the building as a whole, rather than 

individual establishments located within the building. Professionals in 

the areas of architecture, building operations, engineering, statistics, 

and survey research were consulted during the development of the inter 

view questionnaire. The interviews averaged 50 minutes each and covered: 

structural and operational building features; types of heating, cooling, 

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

usage; and a description of the activities found in the building. At the 

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 purchases 

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, and 

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

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

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

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 telephone 

calls were initiated in September 1979 to insure the receipt of the 

letters and to establish a personal contact with the appropriate utility 

company representative.

After the building interviews were completed and the signed waivers were 

received, approximately 230 electric and natural gas companies and about 

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

participation.

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

instructions and explanations, signed waivers, and data-retrieval forms. 

Follow-up telephone calls were made to the suppliers of electricity and 

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 date. 

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

second telephone call was made to deal with any problems that might have 

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

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

out) providing the required information was acceptable. A telephone 

follow-up of suppliers of energy 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/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 which described the ses 

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

conduct identical training sessions for the listers.

Prior to 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 

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

pervisors 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.

How the Survey Was Conducted 

(Continued)

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

subsample of 53, not including the segments that had already been checked. 

The relisting showed that less than one percent of the buildings had been 

missed. Buildings were usually missed because of questions concerning 

segment boundaries.

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

visors and their assistants in September 1979. Approximately 170 inter 

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

1979. Westat, Inc., conducted the training of both the supervisors and 

the interviewers utilizing a variety of techniques. The training materials 

used included: an annotated manual, interactive lectures, role-playing 

exercises, audio-visual presentations of the interview techniques, and 

slides relating specific building types to the questionnaire. The super 

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

interview training.

The completed questionnaires were initially screened by the field 

supervisors. They were reviewed for completeness, correct identifying 

information, and ambiguities requiring clarification. The supervisors 

mailed the completed questionnaires to Westat, Inc., where they were 

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

categorized and some of the more complex data items such as open-ended 

questions, were put into special processing. After the manual editing, 

the questionnaires were coded, keypunched, verified, and computerized. 

A machine edit check was made for reasonable values, proper skip patterns, 

and logical inconsistencies. Additional edit checks were performed on the 

consumption and expenditure data received from the buildings' energy 

suppliers. Data retrieval procedures were instituted in cases where data 

were incomplete, inconsistent or unreasonable. In cases where data 

retrieval was not possible, cost and consumption estimates were 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 average 

heating degree-days (HDD) and cooling degree-days (CDD) for the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather division in which 

the building is located. These data were used In the preparation of 

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

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 for the 

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

the 1st of the month, while another may be billed on the 5th. Thus, 

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

period. These data will allow more complete analysis of fuel consumption. 

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 effects of the weather are controlled.

The amount of data collected from this survey was reduced by two types of 

nonresponse: unit nonresponse (e.g., noninterview) and nonresponse to 

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 nonresponse

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 

the section on 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 two percent nonresponse; two of them (year 

constructed and square footage) had about three percent nonresponse, and 

one item (hours of operation) had about seven 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.

Adjusting for Unit 

Nonresponse

Limitations of the Data

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. These procedures, along with those used to adjust for unit 

nonresponse, are described below. A forthcoming report will describe 

the imputation procedures for consumption and expenditures data in more 

detail. This section 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 exist, 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 shown later in this section.

A unit nonresponse is defined as any case for which no information was 

obtained for an eligible, in-scope sample building. As was mentioned in 

the "Sample Design" part of Appendix A, unit nonresponse was handled by 

adjusting the sampling weights of responding buildings. A separate 

adjustment was computed for each of 144 population subgroups formed by 

crossing the 4 Census regions with 6 square footage categories and 6 

broad building type classes. The weight adjustment for subgroups is 

given by

where Ws is the sum of the basic building weights over all eligible 

buildings in the subgroup and Rg is the corresponding sum over all 

responding buildings.

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

Most building characteristics, including range values of square footage 

and number of employees, were recorded for the great majority of completed 

interviews (see Table Bl). Item nonresponse for selected building 

characteristics was treated by imputing data from a responding case, using 

a separate hot deck procedure for each item. The hot deck procedure 

requires the file of buildings to be sorted by variables related to the 

missing item. A building is then selected which has the same value on 

the related variables and this "donor" building supplies the value for 

the variable which is missing. The only data element for which a hot 

deck procedure was not used was the square footage range. For this 

variable, the lister's guess was used, unless that guess was less than 

10,000 or greater than 100,000 square feet (see Building Listing Form). 

When the lister's square footage estimate was in either of these categor 

ies, an unweighted average square footage 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, 

which was then coded into the appropriate range. Most of the imputed 

building characteristics items had less than 2 percent item nonresponse; 

three of them (year constructed range estimate, square footage range 

estimate and fuel oil tank capacity) had about 3 percent nonresponse, 

and one item (hours of operation) had over 7 percent nonresponse.

Table B2 shows the effect of unit nonresponse adjustment and item 

imputations on estimates of numbers of nonresidential buildings by square 

footage category and year built. Within each set of 3 columns (aggregate 

and percentage) the right column contains the estimate 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 in the building 

weight, but the buildings with imputed values are still eliminated. The 

entries in the left column represent the buildings in Table 2 because 

nonresponse adjustments and imputed cases are both included in the 

estimation procedure. The data indicate that the level of year built 

imputations was relatively constant from category while the square footage 

imputations seemed to be concentrated in the middle size classes. This 

distribution suggests that the square footage imputations may have tended 

to compress the square footage range values toward the middle categories.

Imputing Numeric Values for Square Footage and Employment 

Two very important building characteristics, numeric values for square 

footage and employment, had missing values for a large proportion of 

cases. Of the 6,222 responding sample buildings, 1,555 or 25 percent, 

were missing square footage and 664 or 11 percent were missing employment. 

Because these variables are so important, both in and of themselves and 

as standardizing variables for energy consumption, an attempt was made 

to apply a regression technique to impute for missing values. The attempt 

was generally unsuccessful. There seemed to be no way to produce an R/ 

greater than about 0.20 for predicting square footage, and about half 

the predicted values were outside the corresponding range value (in many 

cases, several categories removed). Regression within range categories 

resulted in even lower values of R^. Results were no better for 

employment.

In order to make best use of the range estimates of square footage and 

employment to impute numeric values, a simultaneous hot-deck procedure 

was used. First the building types used for analysis in this report 

were collapsed into 8 categories, each category having building types 

with approximately the same average square footage. Building records 

were then sorted by type within employment range category within square 

footage range category, and ordered by ID number in each cell.

The order in each cell was treated as circular; that is, the last record 

"preceded" the first. Each record that was missing both numeric square 

footage and numeric employment was given the values of the highestnumbered preceding record in the cell with both values available (if 

there were intervening records with one but not both variables available, 

they were skipped). If there was no other record in the cell with both 

values available, the search continued in the cell with the same range 

values for square footage and employment and the next higher type value , 

then in the cell with the next lower type value, then in the cell with 

the type 2 values higher, and so on until an appropriate donor record 

was found. All donor records were then identified so that they would 

not be used again in the imputation procedure.

After the imputations were finished for cases with both values missing, 

imputations began for records with one but not both values missing. The 

procedure was exactly the same as that used for cases with both variables 

missing, with two exceptions. First, the donor record needed to have only 

the numeric value of the variable being imputed, not both variables. 

Second, a necessary additional retreat step was supplied when the 

imputation cell did not have a donor. In the relatively few instances 

when square footage was missing, and retreating over values of building 

type did not yield a donor, the next step was to hold building type 

constant at the value for the case with missing data, and retreat in a 

similar fashion over surrounding range values of employment. An analogous 

retreat was performed over range values of square footage when employment 

was missing and retreating over building type did not produce a donor 

record. Donor records used to impute either square footage or employment 

were identified so that the same variable would not be imputed for a 

second case. However, the same case could serve as a donor record for 

separate imputations of square footage and employment.

^Actually, the retreat procedure alternated, starting with the next 

higher type value one time and the next lower type value the next.

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

In order to investigate the validity of the square footage and employment 

imputation procedures, 1,061 cases with actual square footage and 541 

cases with actual employment were randomly selected and given imputed 

values by applying the above procedures to the remainder of the responding 

file. The selection was designed to simulate as closely as possible the 

samples of cases that actually needed imputation. Weighted and unweighted 

values of total square footage and employment were then created for the 

file of original respondents, using both the actual and imputed values 

for the validation subsample. Selected results are summarized in Table 

B3. There were negligible differences between the corresponding estimates 

based on actual and imputed data.

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

consumption and expenditures in the nonresidential buildings sector during 

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

collected from electricity and natural gas suppliers. Ideally, the data 

for each fuel used in each building should have been in the form of 

complete data records for consecutive billing periods-'- either totally 

or partially contained in calendar year 1979, covering exactly the energy 

consumed in the sample building. .

However, there were several ways in which the actual data varied from the 

the ideal. The major variations 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. 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.

3. Data were supplied for billing periods in 1979, but the 

month and/or day of the meter reading or billing was 

omitted.

4. Most of the cases of complete reporting of 1979 data 

included billing periods that overlapped into 1978 

and 1980.

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

consumption data for some or all billing periods totally 

or partially contained 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.

-"-A billing period is the time period between two adjacent estimates or 

meter readings for purposes of billing a customer. A meter reading date 

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

period begins on the following day.

them. If these additional facilities represented nonresidential energy 

use that could be associated with the sample building (rather than some 

other building) no adjustment was made. All consumption and expenditures 

for the fuel was attributed to the sample building. Examples of facili 

ties whose energy consumption would be associated with the sample building 

include exterior lighting, alarm systems, billboards and/or signs adjacent 

to the sample building, and unlisted trailers and other out buildings at 

the same address as the sample building.

If, on the other hand, some of the consumption was known to have taken 

place in another building or buildings, the total reported amounts were 

adjusted in an attempt to produce more appropriate estimates of 

consumption and expenditures. The adjustments had to be crude because 

there was often very little information written down about the other 

buildings. When nothing except the number of other buildings was known, 

the total reported consumption and expenditures were divided by the 

number of buildings sharing it to produce estimates for the sample build 

ing. A few exceptions were made to this procedure when the description 

of the other buildings revealed that equal allocation would be nonsense. 

For example, if the electricity used by a large hospital included that 

used in an adjoining maintenance shed, the entire consumption and expendi 

tures went with the hospital, since the amount of electricity used in 

the shed was most likely negligible in comparision. When the square 

footage of the other buildings was known, consumption and expenditures 

were computed for the sample building by prorating the consumption and 

expenditures in each billing period by the square footage of the sample 

building relative to the total square footage of all buildings sharing 

the consumption. This last procedure was also used to allocate 

consumption and expenditures to individual buildings in groups of sample 

buildings whose utility data were aggregated when waivers were not 

obtained for them.

Virtually all missing meter reading dates or billing dates were one of two 

types. The first type occurred for all records with billing period data. 

Since the billing or meter reading date was used to define the end of one 

billing period and the beginning of the next, the beginning date of the 

first (chronological) billing period was never available, since there 

was no previous billing date to define it. Other billing or meter read 

ing dates that were incomplete usually had the month and year entered, 

with the day missing. For each case of this second type, the billing 

periods affected were either bounded (surrounded by billing periods with 

known beginning and ending dates), or unbounded (either at the beginning 

or end of the set of billing periods).

Any set of consecutive bounded billing periods with missing dates was 

given billing dates that would make all billing periods in the set have 

as close to the same number of days as possible. Unbounded billing 

periods were given beginning and/or ending dates as needed so that the 

number of days in each unbounded period was the same as the average 

number of days in billing periods of known length.

There were some cases where month and year were present but day was 

missing for the beginning and ending dates of all billing periods on a 

record. These cases were imputed by assigning "16" to each beginning 

date and "15" to each ending date.

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Adjusting for Overlapping 

Data

Imputing for Missing 

Consumption

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

One of the main reasons that the NBECS requested utility data from 

December 1978 through January 1980 was to assure complete coverage of 

1979 consumption in cases of complete response. Unless a billing period 

happened to end on December 31, 1978 or December 31, 1979, consumption 

as reported by the utilities overlapped from the desired time period of 

calendar 1979 into 1978 and 1980. Consumption and cost for overlapping 

billing periods were adjusted by splitting the overlapping period into 

two subperiods, one running from the beginning date through December 31, 

the other from January 1 through the billing or meter reading date. 

Cost and consumption were prorated according to the number of days in 

each subperiod, and the cost and consumption for the subperiod that 

fell in 1979 were included in the total cost and consumption for 1979.

After all previous steps were carried out for each utility data record as 

needed, one large, important gap remained in the consumption and expendi 

tures data. Many buildings were missing their consumption and/or expendi 

tures data for all or part(s) of 1979 (Tables B4 and B5). For virtually 

the entire file, the number of days of consumption reported in 1979 was 

at least as large as the number of days for expenditures; for only 3 

records did the number of reported days of expenditures for 1979 exceed 

the number of days of cost. Thus the major effort was to find methods 

of imputing for missing consumption. Once consumption was imputed, cost 

was imputed from the actual and imputed consumption data.

To begin, utility records were examined to see if consumption data were 

reported by the utility for periods in 1978 or 1980 corresponding to 

part or all of the periods of missing data in 1979. If there was 

consumption available for corresponding periods in the adjacent year, 

it was transferred to 1979. Any 1978 or 1980 consumption that overlapped 

into periods of known consumption in 1979 was removed by the same 

prorating operation described in the previous section. All utility 

records now had three types of "billing" periods of consumption data in 

1979: periods of reported 1979 consumption, periods of consumption 

transferred from 1978 or 1980, and periods of missing consumption. The 

periods of 1979 consumption usually (but not always) had corresponding 

expenditure data; periods of transferred or missing consumption had no 

corresponding expenditure data.

Utility records were now split into three groups: (1) records whose 

periods of reported or transferred consumption covered 331 days or more 

in 1979; (2) records whose periods of reported or transferred consumption 

covered 31-330 days in 1979; and (3) records whose periods of reported 

or transferred consumption covered 30 or fewer days in 1979. A separate 

imputation procedure was devised to impute consumption for each group.

Group 1: If a period of missing consumption was surrounded by 

periods for which reported or transferred consumption was 

available, average consumption per day was computed for the 

surrounding periods and the two values were themselves averaged. 

The result was multiplied by the number of days in the period of 

missing consumption to produce an estimate for the period. If the 

period of missing consumption was not surrounded, average 

consumption per day was computed for an adjacent billing period, 

and that average was multiplied by the number of days of missing 

data to produce an estimate of consumption.

Table B6. Fuel End Use Categories

for Imputing Consumption of

Buildings Whose Fuel Records

Are in Group 2

158

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

Group 2: The set of fuel records that had 331 days or more of 

reported consumption in 1979 (not including transferred 

consumption), served as a pool of potential donor records for 

the group 2 imputations. For each fuel record in group 2, a 

fuel record was randomly selected from the subset of records for 

buildings in the same climate zone, of the same building type, 

and in the same end use category for heating and air conditioning 

as the building whose fuel record needed imputation. The end use 

categories are shown in Table B6. Group 1 imputations had already 

been completed for the donor records, so each donor record had 

consumption for a set of consecutive "billing periods" running 

from January 1 through December 31, 1979. The corresponding stratum 

2 record had consumption for one or more "billing periods" covering 

31-330 days in 1979. First, an estimate of the energy consumption 

for the donor record in the period covered by the group 2 record 

was computed, using the formula

j=l d j

where Qj is the consumption of the donor record during its billing 

period j, dj is the number of days in period j, and lj is the number 

of days in period j that fall into the period covered by the group 

2 record. If Q represents the total 1979 consumption for the donor 

record and q represents the total consumption for the period covered 

by the group 2 record, then

q( —— ) - q

estimates the consumption for the group 2 record for the remainder 

of the year, which was treated as one large "billing period".

Group 3: Fuel records with 30 or fewer days of consumption in 

1979, reported or transferred, were considered to be totally with 

out consumption data. Consumption was imputed for these records 

using an unweighted stepwise multiple regression procedure. The 

input records used to determine the regression equations were the 

set of fuel records with both consumption and cost reported for 

331 or more days in 1979. Much experimentation was conducted to 

search for subpopulations of the building stock that would yield 

acceptable regressions and predictor variables that would do the 

best job of explaining consumption. The final consumption regres 

sion were carried out for 44 subgroups, 18 for electricity and 26 

for natural gas. The primary variable used to define the subpopulations was building type (either the building types shown 

in this report, or in serveral cases, a finer breakdown), 

although square footage, number of floors, and number of employees 

were each used in one instance to subdivide a type category in 

order to improve the regressions. The number of input records

in the regression categories ranged from 81 to 580 for 

electricity and 40 to 353 for natural gas. R' values (which 

measure the proportion of the total sum of squares explained by the 

regression equation) range from 0.5635 to 0.9326 for electricity and 

0.5137 to 0.9875 for natural gas. The set of potential predictor 

variables for the regressions is given in Table B7. Residuals for 

the input records (actual consumption minus the consumption predicted 

by the appropriate regression equation) generally increased in mag 

nitude as the actual and predicted values increased, but relative 

residuals (defined as residual - predicted value) tended to decrease. 

Certain small positive predicted values had very large relative 

residuals. Also, most of the regressions produced some negative 

predicted values, which were generally associated with the smaller 

actual values of consumption.

A record with missing consumption data was first given a predicted 

consumption value Q1 by inserting the values of its predictor 

variables into the appropriate regression equation. The input 

records were then stratified by predicted value. For most regres 

sion categories there were 3 strata: records with negative 

predicted values, records with "small" positive values, and records 

with "large" positive values (the dividing line between "small" and 

"large" varied by regression category). An input record was chosen

at random from those in the stratum whose range of predicted values 

included the predicted value given to the record with missing data, 

A final consumption value Q for that record was computed using the 

expression

- P T

where Ar and Pr are the actual and predicted consumption values, 

respectively, of the randomly chosen input record. Stratification 

of input records assured that Q would be positive when Q1 was 

negative, and that large relative residuals associated with small 

predicted values of consumption for input records would only affect 

missing data records with small predicted values. No input record 

was used more than once as a donor; the final value of consumption 

covered the entire year.

Of the more than 1,000 records whose consumption was imputed using 

the group 3 method, nine values were rejected because they were 

totally unrealistic and could potentially disrupt variance 

estimates. New values were imputed by either adjusting the regres 

sion equation, selecting a different residual, or assigning the 

smallest actual consumption among the input records in the 

appropriate regression category.

Once consumption imputations were complete, actual or imputed consumption 

was available for each fuel record for one or more billing periods that 

together covered all of 1979. Cost was variously reported for none, 

some, or all of these billing periods. The cases that needed cost 

imputations were divided into 2 groups: (1) cases with cost data 

reported for one or more (but not all) billing periods, and (2) cases 

with no cost data reported.

Group 1: If a period of missing cost was surrounded by billing 

periods for which cost and consumption were both available, a 

cost-per-unit-consumption ratio was computed for the surrounding 

periods and the two values were averaged. The result was 

multiplied by the reported or imputed consumption for the period 

of missing cost to produce a cost estimate.

If the period of missing cost was not surrounded by periods of 

complete data, a cost-per-unit-consumption ratio was computed 

for the billing period closest to it. This ratio was multiplied 

by the reported or imputed consumption for the period of missing 

cost to provide a preliminary cost estimate C'. This estimate 

was then adjusted to account for the rapid inflation in energy 

costs that occurred in 1979, using monthly data on average fuel 

costs for commercial customers published in the Monthly Energy 

Review, publication DOE/EIA 0035 (Reference 1). The 

adjustment factor was the ratio

where C,,; is the cost benchmark for the month corresponding to 

the midpoint of the period of missing data and Ca is the benchmark 

for the month corresponding to the midpoint of the adjacent 

period (see Table B8). The final cost estimate U was given by:

Group 2: If no cost data was available, cost was imputed from 

consumption via an unweighted linear regression procedure based 

on the model

C' = a + bQ + e

where consumption is the lone independent variable and a 

and b are parameters to be estimated. The input data were 

the same set of records used for the consumption regressions. 

However, there were only 4 regression categories for each fuel, 

based on actual consumption for the input record. (Level of 

consumption was used to define 4 regression categories for each 

fuel because the per— unit cost of fuel, approximated by the 

slope of the regression line, was presumed to decrease as con 

sumption increased). Residuals were much more well-behaved 

for these regressions than for the consumption regression 

(although residuals again tended to increase as cost increased), 

and no negative predicted values of cost turned up. Therefore, 

there was no need to stratify residuals.

The procedure used to impute cost was similar to that used to 

impute consumption in Group 3. A record with missing cost was 

given a predicted value C' by inserting its consumption into 

the appropriate regression equation. An input record associated 

with that regression was randomly selected, and a final cost 

value C was computed using the expression:

= C'(l +

Ar - Pr

where Ar and Pr are now the actual and predicted cost values, 

respectively, of the input record.

Virtually every building in the NBECS sample that used electricity arid/or 

natural gas had its consumption and expenditure values affected by some 

stage of the imputation procedures. Even the cases that had data reported 

for all 365 days of 1979 had to have their consumption and expenditures 

adjusted for billing periods that overlapped into 1978 or 1980. Table B9 

shows the number of commercial buildings in the NBECS sample that used 

electricity and the number that used natural gas, distributed by the 

number of days in 1979 for which usable consumption data and cost data 

were available. All reported data in the 0-30 day category was eliminated 

and regression imputations were performed. The 717 buildings in the 

31-330 day consumption group for electricity averaged about 250 days of 

reported consumption for 1975, or conversely, 115 days of missing or 

transfered consumption. Therefore, about 226 building equivalent years 

of electricity consumption had to be imputed or transferred for this 

category, about 1/3 the number that had to be imputed for the 0-30 day 

category. For natural gas, 484 building years of data had to be imputed 

for the 0-30 day category, while the 285 buildings in the 31-330 day 

category necessitated about 113 building equivalent years of imputed and

transferred consumption since the average building in this category had 

245 days of 1979 consumption report. Comparable figures in the 331-364 

day category were 32 building years imputed or transferred for electri 

city, 12 building years for natural gas.

Table BIO shows estimated aggregate electricity and natural gas consump 

tion distributed by the same categories. An estimate of the amount of 

consumption based on reported 1979 data can be produced as follows: 

for electricity,

347 250

QR=1.0(1.243 quadrillion Btu)+(——)(0.225 quadrillion Btu)+(——)

365 365

(0.261 quadrillion Btu)+0.0(0.363 quadrillion Btu) 

= 1.636 quadrillion Btu

Which is 78 percent of the total estimated commercial consumption of 

electricity in 1979. For natural gas,

347 245

QR=1.0(1.651 quadrillion Btu)+(——)(0.147 quadrillion Btu)+(——) 365 365

(0.100 quadrillion Btu)+0.0(0.459 quadrillion Btu) 

= 1.858 quadrillion Btu

which is 79 percent of the total estimated commercial consumption of 

natural gas in 1979.

Because no known energy consumption surveys of the United States building 

stock had been attempted prior to 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 Energy 

Review (HER), its Annual Report to Congress (ARC), and its State Energy 

Data Report (References 1-3). These data are based on utility sales and 

supply data, and although each data system uses somewhat different methods 

to generate its final estimates, the estimates are somewhat related. For 

example, the introduction to the State Energy Data System (SEDS) report 

states that "a prime requisite in the development of the SEDS data series 

was that the summations of State data to national totals in the SEDS 

equal as closely as possible the national totals for each energy type 

and end-use sector that appear in ... the Monthly Energy Review (HER), 

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

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

Table Bll compares NBECS consumption estimates for electricity and natural 

gas to the most comparable estimates from these other data sources. 

These data are not comparable to NBECS in that they present estimates 

for the commercial sector rather than a buildings population, and the 

NBECS data Includes a certain unavoidable amount of residential and 

Industrial building activity.

Also, the data are subject to the adjustments described in the footnotes 

to Table Bll. The values that appear to be most significantly different 

from the NBECS estimates are the ARC estimates and the SEDS natural gas 

estimate. All of these differences may be due to differences in 

population covered by the data sources (see SEDS, ARC, and HER 

publications for further details).

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

error. However, the complex multi-stage, multi-frame design of a survey 

such as the NBECS makes it virtually impossible to construct an exact 

algebraic variance estimator. The method used to produce sampling 

variances for this survey is balanced half-sample replication (see 

References 4 and 5). In order to apply the half-sample technique to 

this survey, the 79 sample primary sampling units (PSU's) were grouped 

into 37 strata. Eighteen of the strata were self-representing; that is, 

they consisted of large metropolitan areas that came into the sample 

with certainty. In these strata, segments were divided into two 

replication groups. Each of the remaining 19 strata consisted of two or 

more sample PSU's belonging to the same Census region. The two 

replication groups in these strata consisted of one or more PSU's each.

^Conversion factors used to convert physical units to Btu were: 

Electricity, 3412 Btu/Kwh; Natural gas, 1019 Btu/ft 3 .

2The SEDS natural gas estimate in physical units for 1979 was converted 

to Btu using a factor of 1,019 Btu/ft3 , the factor used for NBECS. This 

figure differs slightly from the Btu estimate in the ARC because a 

conversion factor of 1,018 Btu/ft3 was used for that report.

3The HER data combined the residential and commercial sectors, so 

residential consumption based on EIA's Residential Energy Consumption 

Survey (RECS) was subtracted to produce estimates of commercial 

consumption. Since the closest comparable period for RECS estimates was 

April 1979 to March 1980, those values were subtracted from MER estimates 

for the same months to produce estimates of commercial consumption for 

that period.

Use of Error Tables

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

Variance estimates for survey statistics were created by computing 40 

half-sample estimates for each statistic. Each half-sample estimate was 

formed by selecting one of the two replication groups from each stratum 

using an orthogonal matrix technique adapted from an article by Plackett 

and Burman (Reference 6). Then the sampling weights were adjusted so 

that the half-sample estimates would be essentially unbiased estimates 

of the corresponding population parameter, as was the estimate based on 

the entire national sample.

The variance estimate for the survey estimate X 1 of characteristic X is 

given by:

40

= — z

40 ,.,

(X{ - X' )

where Xf is the ^th half-sample estimate of X. The standard error of X', 

the measure of variability used in the text, is given by

Sx' =

The relative standard error of X', the error form used in the error tables 

(Appendix C), is given by

SX , 

RSE(X') = ——

Tables C1-C19 show standard errors for each statistic presented in the 

detailed tables. Certain statistics have been suppressed from both the 

detailed tables and the error tables because of concerns about their 

sampling variability. The entries have been replaced by an entry of "Q" 

in the appropriate table cell. Suppressed values fall into one of 2 

categories:

1. All consumption, expenditure and average square footage 

per building statistics were suppressed for population 

subclasses whose estimated number of buildings was less 

than 10,000. The estimates for virtually all such sub 

classes were based on fewer than 30 observations, and 

were usually subject to large variability. In addition, 

the sampling variance estimates themselves were highly 

unstable, so that any estimate from a small subclass 

that did have a reasonable standard error would have 

to have been regarded with suspicion.

2. Each consumption, expenditure, and average square

footage per building statistic whose relative standard 

error exceeded 50 percent was suppressed. In a few 

instances, an estimate whose relative standard error was 

just under 50 percent was also suppressed if the 

estimate would have been the only entry in a row of 

suppressed data, since the acceptability of the estimate 

may have been due to the instability of the standard error 

estimate.

Using Standard Errors to Test 

Statistical Hypotheses

166

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

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 C1-C19; percentage statistics and statistics 

for collapsed population subgroups not found in the tables. The relative 

standard errors of a percentage statistics P' = X'/Y 1 were computed 

using the formula

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

For example, the first sentence under the heading "Electricity" in the 

Summary of Findings states that 97 percent (+3) of all commercial build 

ings used electricity. That statistic is based on a numeration of 

3,867,000 buildings and a denominator of 3,995,000 (Table 1). From 

Table Cl the RSE's of these two estimates are 5.5 percent and 5.3 percent 

respectively, so the RSE of the ratio is estimated by

RSE (P 1 ) = \/(5.5) 2 - (5.3) 2 - 1.5 percent

so that the two standard error interval around the 97 percent estimate 

is of width (97)(0.015)(2) = 3 percent, the value in parentheses.

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 the same approximate value, for a population 

subgroup with approximately the same estimated number of buildings. 

For example, the first sentence of paragraph 5 of the "natural gas" 

section states "Average natural gas consumption per square foot varied 

enormously by building size... to 52,000 Btu (+ 9,000) for buildings 

over 25,000 square feet." From Table 5, there are an estimated 265,000 

buildings over 25,000 square feet that use natural gas. Under the 

"Energy sources supplied to the building" variable, the category "fuel 

oil" has an estimated 267,000 buildings, with an average natural gas 

usage of 61,000 Btu per square foot. The RSE of that statistic, from 

Table C5, is 8.2 percent. Therefore, two standard errors for the 52,000 

Btu estimate for buildings over 25,000 square feet is equal to 

(52,000)(0.82)(2)=9,000, the value given in parentheses.

The analytical statements in this report can be divided into three types. 

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

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

An example of such a statement is found in sentence 2 under the heading 

"Natural Gas and Electricity" in the Summary of Findings. "Total natural 

gas and electricity consumption for commercial buildings in 1979 was an 

estimated 4.449 quadrillion Btu (+0.543)." No statistical tests of 

hypothesis are needed or were performed for such statements; twice the 

standard error is given in parentheses after the estimate. This value 

serves as a measure of the level of variability in the statistic, and 

allows the reader to compute an approximate 95 percent confidence 

interval for the estimate by adding and subtracting the value in 

parentheses.

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Limitations of the Data (Continued)

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

intended as a summary statement of a data relationship or relationships 

that exist in a table. An example of this type of statement is found in 

the first sentence of paragraph 6 in the "Square Footage" section of the 

Summary of Findings: "Generally speaking, .the greater the number of 

different fuels used in a building, the larger the building." Such 

statements are meant to give general impressions and are not subject to 

statistical justification.

The third, and most commonly occurring type of statement, is the stated or 

implied comparison between two or more statistics. Such comparisons are 

meant to point out specific similarities and differences between popula 

tion subgroups, sometimes in support of the summary statements discussed 

above. Since these statements imply specific relationships among popula 

tion subgroups based on sample data, they are 1/nferential, and subject 

to statistical testing. Examples of such comparisons are

(1) The last sentence of paragraph 5 in the "National Gas" 

section: "Average natural gas consumption per building 

ranged from 185 million Btu (+ 51 million) for the 

smallest buildings to 7,116 million Btu (+1,053 million) for 

buildings over 50,000 square feet."

(2) The last sentence of the "Electricity and Natural Gas" 

section: "Buildings where cooling was reduced when 

the building was not in full operation consumed 

significantly less for each of the summary measures 

(average amount per buildng, per square foot, and per 

employee) than buildings where the level of cooling 

was not reduced."

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

deviate test. In order to test the significance of the difference between 

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

appeal to the Central Limit Theorem. Then the test statistic

ZX',Y'

X' - Y 1

is computed, with Z having approximately a standard normal distribution. 

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

rejected if Z^',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 0.05. 

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 C 

possible comparisons, each of which had an opportunity to be tested and 

falsely yield a significant difference. In order to attain a true level 

of significance 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, and is discussed 

elsewhere (see References 7 and 8).

167

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration

Limitations of the Data (Continued)

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

applied to the examples as follows:

(1) The range statement for natural gas consumption implies a 

significant difference between the average for buildings 

of 1,000 square feet or less and the average for buildings 

over 50,000 square feet in Table 5. The number of possible 

comparisons among the 6 square footage categories is the 

combinatorial (|) " 15, so the critical value for the 

test is the normal two-tailed 0.05/15 » 0.0033 critical 

value which, from the standard normal tables, is 2.935.

The test statistic for the comparison is

7,116 - 185 6,931

\/(l,053)2 + (51) 2

6.57

The Z value exceeds the critical value of 2.935, so the 

difference is significant and the statement is justified.

(2) The pertinent parameter and error estimates come from 

Tables 3 and C3 respectively, and are summarized below.

The process of heating a building may be thought of in two parts: 

one, the system used to convert energy into heat, and two, the 

system that is used to distribute the heat throughout the building, 

First of all, just think of the system, or systems, that convert 

energy into heat; then look at this card, and pick the ONE choice 

that most nearly describes the energy conversion system for this 

bu ilding.

b. A central system [furnace or boiler(s)]

which is located within the building.

This system generates the heat,

but depends on an additional system

for distribution of the heat............

A central system located outside of 

the building. This system converts 

energy to a heated substance (wa ter 

or steam) which is then delivered 

to the building. The heated substance 

(water or steam) is then distributed 

through another system to specific 

areas within the building..............

Appendix E Utility Forms
Forms

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 indi 

cated 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). The electricity and natural gas forms 

are included here.

Form 1 is for an individual building with a single occupant. Form 2 is 

for an individual building with multiple occupants where a single waiver 

was obtained for the entire building. Form 3 covers individual buildings 

with multiple occupants where a waiver was obtained for each occupant. 

Form 4 covers individual buildings with multiple occupants where waivers 

were obtained for some, but not all occupants. Form 5 is for a group of 

buildings in the supplier's service area for which no waivers were 

obtained.

Glossary

Air Conditioning refers to air cooled by a refrigeration unit. 

It does not include fans, blowers, or evaporative cooling systems 

which are not connected to a refrigeration unit. Air conditioning 

units which are not currently in working condition or are not 

used, but are in place in the building, are included in this

survey. i i

j Btu (British Thermal Units) . A Btu is the amount of energy 

j required to raise the temperature of one pound of water, one

degree Fahrenheit at or near 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit and one

atmosphere of pressure.

Btu conversion factors for this survey are:

Electricity 

Natural Gas

3,412 Btu/kilowatt-hour 

1,019 Btu/cubic foot

Building Activity. The primary business, commerce, or function 

carried out by the occupants of a building. The activity cate 

gories were designed to group buildings having similar patterns 

of energy consumption after controlling for weather and size.

Building Conservation Features refers to the four types of 

materials or fixtures included in this survey, which may be 

installed in, or added to, a building for the purposes of 

reducing the amount of energy consumed through the heating 

and/or cooling of the building.

Building Type is derived from the predominant activity in which 

the occupants of a building are engaged. For this report, mixeduse buildings (those buildings where 75 percent or more of the 

floor space was not devoted to a single activity) have been cate 

gorized according to the predominant building activity. Each 

category is described below.

Assembly refers to large buildings used for the gathering of 

50 or more people for purposes such as social, recreational, 

or religious. Included in this category are the following 

building types:

Social/Public/Civic Assembly (fixed seating): (meeting

Campus or complex refers to a well-defined geographic area 

containing a group of separate buildings that are operated as a 

unit (such as a college or university campus).

Census Region. An area consisting of various States selected 

according to population size and physical location. In this 

survey, the States were grouped into four regions:

Northeast - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, 

New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

North Central - Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, 

Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and

Colorado, California, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, 

and Arizona.

(Note: Alaska and Hawaii are normally considered parts of the 

western region but were not included in the sample for this 

survey.)

Central Air Conditioning serves all areas of the building that 

are air conditioned. Such systems are specially designed for 

each building.

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 boiler), generates the heat but depends upon an 

additional system for distribution of the heat. A central 

system located outside of 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. Air cooling systems 

composed of various types of equipment which are either 

combinations of window units, package units, or central systems.

Commercial Buildings. 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 refers to the three types of actions 

included in this report which building owners or occupants may 

initiate, manually or automatically, for the purposes of reducing 

the amount of energy consumed to heat or cool the building. The 

actions include reducing the heat or the cooling produced when

377

the building is not in full use, and having a regular maintenance 

program for the heating and/or air conditioning systems.

Consumed. The amount of electricity or natural gas used by the 

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

Cooling Degree-Days refers 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 

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 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. Electric power supplied to a building by a central 

utility via underground or above-ground power lines. 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. 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, "an economic unit, generally at a single 

physical location where business is conducted or where services 

or industrial operations are performed."

Expenditures refers to the cost for electricity or natural gas 

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. A heat distribution system consisting of two 

types of units that distribute heat via fans: (1) a selfcontained air handling unit serving only a part of the building; 

and (2) a single central air handling unit separate from the 

energy conversion system which distributes air throughout the 

building through ducts.

Fuel Oil refers to No. 1, No. 2, or No. 4 grade fuel oil, 

residual fuel oil, or kerosene that might be burned for space- or 

water-heating purposes.

Glass as Percentage of Exterior Surface refers to the proportion 

of glass to the exterior wall structure of the surface.

Heating Degree-Days refers to the number of degrees the daily 

average temperature is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Normally, 

heating is not required in a building when the outdoor average 

daily temperature is above 65 degrees. Heating degree-days are 

determined by subtracting the average daily temperature below 65 

degrees from the base 65. For example, a day with an average

1979 Consumption and Expenditures 

Energy Information Administration
Glossary (Continued)

temperature of 50 degrees has 15 heating degrees (65-50=15) , 

while one with an average temperature of 65 or higher has none.

Hours of Operation During a Typical Week refers to the number of 

hours per week that the buildingis occupied by regular employees 

(employees responsible for carrying out the primary activity or 

activities of the building), and excludes hours when the building 

is occupied only by maintenance, security, or other supportive 

personnel. Many buildings do not maintain the same hours of 

operation during the year. Alternate schedules were reported for 

these buildings, but for this report "hours of operation" refers 

to the schedule followed most often. Other buildings do not have 

any regular schedule of hours, are open intermittently or by 

appointment only, or are open without being staffed (this last 

category includes automatic bank tellers and roadside rest 

stops). These buildings were recorded as having 0 operating 

hours, according to the definition given by the questionnaire, 

even though they were not vacant.

Imputation. A statistical method used to estimate the response 

to specific unanswered questions which 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 outdoor 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 by one kilowatt (100 watts) in one hour.

Kerosene refers to a distilled product of oil or coal with the 

generic name "kerosene" and used for space-heating, water-heating, 

cooking, or lighting.

LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. Any gas fuel supplied to a building 

in liquid form. It is usually delivered by tank truck and stored 

near the building in a tank or cylinder until used. Propane and 

butane are liquefied petroleum gases.

Master-Metered. The method used by utility companies (i.e., 

electricity and natural gas) , to measure the total volume of 

energy used by several individual customers collectively.

Metropolitan refers to buildings located within Standard 

Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's) as defined in the 1970 

Census. Except in New England, an SMSA is a county or a group of 

contiguous counties which contains at least one city of 50,000 

inhabitants or more, or "twin cities" with a combined population 

of at least 50,000. The contiguous counties are included 

in an SMSA if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially 

metropolitan in character and are socially and economically 

integrated with the central city. In New England, SMSA's consist 

of towns and cities rather than counties. "Nonmetropolitan" 

refers to buildings not located within SMSA's as defined in 

the 1970 Census.

Multiple Building Unit. A single building address which at the 

time of the interview was discovered to be two or more separate 

buildings.

Natural Gas is utility gas supplied by pipeline to individual 

buildings by a central utility company. It does not refer to 

privately-owned gas wells operated by the building owner.

Nonresidential Building. A roofed and walled structure that is 

used for some purpose other than just a residence. 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 residence 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 office was within the 

scope of the survey. A private residence which contained an 

office or business, such as a doctor's office in a home, was 

considered a nonresidential building for the purposes of this 

survey. In order 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. The normal number of 

people working in the building during a typical workday or that 

which occurs during most of the year.

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

section of the building including parking, basements, or other 

floors below ground level.

Outside Shading includes window awnings or other features of the 

building which serve to 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 construc 

tion or have been installed since construction (retrofitted). In 

some cases, 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 refers to air conditioning units which 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 the building is not in full use. Buildings without air 

conditioning systems and buildings 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 when the 

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 heating and air conditioning systems are 

reported as "Not Applicable". Buildings with only window air 

conditioning units and no heating system are also 

"Not Applicable".

Self-Contained Heating Units are units installed either in the 

building or on the roof and which generate and deliver heat to 

the area served.

Separately Metered. This refers to the method in which utility 

companies, (i.e., electricity and natural gas) measure the volume 

of energy consumed by individual customers in a building.

SIC. Standard Industrial Classification codes developed by the 

U.S. Bureau of the Census which categorizes businesses into 

groups with similar economic activities.

Special Building List. Part of the sampling procedure entailed 

locating "large" buildings within the sampled PSU's. "Large" 

buildings were defined as those with 250,000 or more square feet 

of enclosed floor space in PSU's that are Standard Metropolitan 

Statistical Areas. In the remaining one-third of the PSU's, 

buildings of 100,000 square feet or more were listed.

Special Zip Codes. Postal ZIP codes which are allocated by the 

Postal Service to business establishments, government agencies, 

or buildings which have a high mail volume,

Steam Energy Source refers to buildings which purchase steam 

from steam generation and distribution companies serving municipal 

areas such as natural gas distributors. This does not refer to 

buildings which use purchased fuels to generate their own steam 

for use in the building or other buildings in a campus/complex 

situation.

Structure Type refers to whether the building is detached 

(stands alone), attached to other buildings on one or more sides, 

or is part of a shopping mall.

Total Square Footage refers to all the space enclosed within the 

exterior walls of the building. This includes indoor parking 

facilities and basements, and all space such as hallways, lobbies, 

stairways, and elevator shafts.

Treated Glass includes tinted, reflective, insulated or thermal 

pane types of glass which, when installed in the exterior windows 

of a building, serve to reduce the rate of solar penetration into 

the building or to reduce the rate of heat or cold loss to the 

environment. Such forms of glass may have been installed at the 

time of construction or installed since construction (retro 

fitted) . In some cases, treated glass 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 treated glass is currently 

present is not a simple sum of these two categories.

Waiver. An authorization form instructing the energy-supplying 

company serving the buildings to release the volumes and costs of 

energy the building consumed over a specified period.

Weatherstripping or Caulking refers to any material which is 

placed between the door or window and the door- or window-frame 

in order to reduce the rate of heat or cold loss.

Window Unit. Air conditioners are self-contained units which 

areinstalled in a window or through the wall.

Year Constructed. The year in which the major or largest 

portion of the building was constructed.
