Zero Code Plug-in Fact Sheet

Document Type: Fact Sheets
Publication Date:

Residential and commercial buildings are the single-largest energy-consuming sector of the U.S. economy, representing approximately 39% of U.S. total energy consumption and 74% of its electricity use, which makes buildings responsible for 35% of energy-related emissions. DOE provides technical assistance supporting cost-effective increases in energy efficiency and performance of homes and commercial buildings through building energy codes.

Development of National New Construction Weighting Factors for the Commercial Building Prototype Analyses (2008-2022)

Document Number: PNNL-36415
Document Type: Analysis
Publication Date:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) tasked Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with updating commercial building1 construction weights for the purpose of estimating national and state-by-state energy savings impacts of changes made to various commercial energy codes and standards. For commercial building analyses, PNNL typically uses a suite of 16 prototype buildings simulated in the 19 ASHRAE climate zones with 16 of them present in the United States. The 2008-2022 commercial building weighting factors were derived using the same approach employed to develop the 2003-2018 set (Lei et al, 2020).

ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2022 Performance Rating Method Reference Manual

Document Number: PNNL-36136
Document Type: Other
Publication Date:

This document is intended to be a reference manual for the Appendix G Performance Rating Method (PRM) of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2022 (Standard 90.1-2022). The PRM can be used to demonstrate compliance with the standard and to rate the energy efficiency of commercial and high-rise residential buildings with designs that exceed the requirements of Standard 90.1.

Commercial Cost Effective Methodology 2024

Document Type: Cost-effectiveness
Publication Date:

This document lays out the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) methodology for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of energy code and standard1 proposals and editions. The evaluation is applied to new provisions or editions of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES2 Standard 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code. The methodology follows standard lifecycle cost (LCC) economic analysis procedures. 

90.1 Appendix G PBM - All Buildings - ASHRAE 90.1-2022 Proposed

Document Type: Model Data
Publication Date:

These prototypes are used to calculate Building Performance Factors (BPFs) for use with the Performance Rating Method of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 though 2022. These prototypes are used to implement the new approach to calculating BPFs that follow the Appendix G baseline rules and include adjustments to the prototype models made after a specific code has been published. Those BPFs are therefore different than those published in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 2016-2022. This new approach is discussed in more detail in the PNNL Technical Support Document titled, Commercial Building Prototypes Based on ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2019 Appendix G PRM.
