Commercial Reference Building: Quick Service Restaurant
Commercial reference buildings [1] provide complete descriptions for whole building energy analysis using EnergyPlus [2] simulation software. Included here is data pertaining to the reference building type "Quick Service Restaurant" for each of the 16 climate zones [3], and each of three construction categories: new (2004) construction, post-1980 construction existing buildings, and pre-1980 construction existing buildings.
The dataset includes four key components: building summary, zone summary, location summary and a picture. Building summary includes details about: form, fabric, and HVAC. Zone summary includes details such as: area, volume, lighting, and occupants for all types of zones in the building. Location summary includes key building information as it pertains to each climate zone, including: fabric and HVAC details, utility costs, energy end use, and peak energy demand.
In total, DOE developed 16 reference building types [4] that represent approximately 70% of commercial buildings in the U.S.; for each type, building models are available for each of the three construction categories. The commercial reference buildings (formerly known as commercial building benchmark models) were developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) [5], in conjunction with three of its national laboratories.
Additional data is available directly from DOE's Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) Website, including EnergyPlus software input files (.idf) and results of the EnergyPlus simulations (.html).
