M. Susan Ubbelohde, University of California, Berkeley; Christian Humann• • •
By the mid-1980's, a number of software packages were under development to predict daylighting performance in buildings, in particular illumination levels in daylighted spaces. An evaluation in 1988 by Ubbelohde et al. demonstrated that none of the software then available was capable of...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 3, Paper 28

The commercial sector consumes over 13 quads of primary energy annually. Most of this consumption (two-thirds) meets the energy needs of lighting and heating, ventilation, and airconditioning. The largest consuming group of the remaining one-third is commercial refrigeration at about one quad...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 1

Food service operations use more energy per square foot than any other commercial buildings and yet, the opportunity to build energy efficient restaurants is often overlooked due to a lack of information and education within the industry. To meet this challenge and stimulate energy-efficient...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 2
Nils Borg, Borg & Co; Anna Engleryd, The Swedish National Energy Administration• • •
This paper takes a recent European Commission study on international cooperative procurement aimed at increasing the dissemination of efficient lighting systems and other technologies as the starting point for a discussion on the various procurement methods for efficient technologies. The paper...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 3
Roger C. Brady, DPIC Companies, Inc.; Carolyn Dasher, Portland Energy Conservation Inc.• • •
Insurance companies for design professionals pay millions of dollars in HVAC-related claims each year. DPIC is the second largest insurer of design professionals in North America. Their study of these claims indicates that building commissioning could save significant claim payment dollars....1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 4
Mark E. Case, etc Group Inc.; Jim Wingerden, Utah Office of Energy and Resource Planning• • •
In 1996, the State of Utah instigated a pilot program intended to improve the energy efficiency of newly designed State buildings. The goal of the program was to show that buildings could be designed to be more energy efficient than the Stateís energy code, ASHRAE/IES 90.1 without adding...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 5

Statistically Adjusted Engineering (SAE) Models are commonly used to estimate gross energy savings associated with energy efficiency programs for individual program years. However, programs that are in place for multiple years will likely move the market towards energy efficient equipment. While...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 6
Mark Chao, David B. Goldstein, Institute for Market Transformation; Thomas P. Conlon, RLW Analytics, Inc.• • •
In this paper we explore linkages between energy costs and asset value of commercial buildings. Common methods of appraisal practice determine building value as a function of net operating income; therefore it should follow that lower energy costs be directly correlated with higher building value....1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 7
John Cockburn, Andre Bourbeau, Bruno Gobeil, Natural Resources Canada• • •
On December 15, 1997 Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) announced the implementation of a new program to encourage energy efficient construction in the commercial/institutional sector. Called the Commercial Building Incentive Program(CBIP), starting April 1, 1998 it provides a financial incentive...1998 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 4, Paper 8

Utilities typically use site surveys, rebates, and/or financing to promote energy efficiency retrofits to their commercial and industrial customers. For many customers, these services are not enough to implement a project, or other services would be more valuable. This paper discusses field results...
