EBOM-2009 EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance
Is there a resource that further defines the activity space types as listed on the Case 2 LEED Offline Calculator and thier respective Source EUI's? Specifcally is there a defintion of how these space types are defined/categorized and a explanation as to where the national average data is compiled and calculated?

Hi Josh,
Yes the most complete set of data is the CBECS Database. This is what Energy Star Portfolio Manager is based off of. There you can find and inventory of what you are looking for. Here is the link. Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the info. I understand where CBECS and Energy Star Portfolio Manager get their data. My question is where the USGBC's Case 2 LEED Offline Calculator obtains its data as it does not exactly match the CBECS data. Specifically I would like to know where the Case 2 Calculator's space types are defined and the rationale behind the calculator's national average EUI's are further detailed/explained. Can anyone provide this data? Any info helps.
