Hi all!
Is anyone familiar with using option 2 for estimating baseline energy use for EAc6 Green Power?
I have the link that takes me to the website but there are so many different tables available and I cannot find one that has data for Median Electrical Intensity by Building Type as shown in the Reference Guide (table 1, page 329).
Thank you.

Hi James!
The CBECS table can be found at this link:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/pdf/c10.pdf
It is Table C10- Electricity Consumption and Expenditure Intensities, 1999
Hope this helps!

Interesting that the 1999 CBECS data is still being used when the 2003 CBECS data was available and the 2007 CBECS data will probably be released this year based on past availability. In my opinion this is an oversight in LEED 2009 and it should have been updated with the 2003 CBECS data. The newer data can be found at - http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/cbecs2003/detailed_tables_2003/2003set...
Looks like some of the categories increased and some decreased. One could certainly argue that using 7 year old data is better than 11 year old data but I would only try that in my LEED submission if I saved considerably by using the 2003 data.
