Commercial, institutional and large multi-family building account for about 25% of primary U.S. energy. The average energy use for all existing buildings has essentially remained flat since the early 1980s at about 88,000 Btu/ft2 (277.4 kW/m2). Furthermore, 98% of all buildings are less than 100,000 ft2 (9,290 ft2) with the distribution heavily weighted to buildings between 25,000 and 50,000 ft2 (4,645 and 2,323 m2). These conference papers define the problem facing adoption of deep energy retrofits, the multifaceted plan of attack to transform a fragmented market and the modeling, technology and integrated design approach to deliver results.
