1000号楼是一栋有25年历史的办公楼，位于田纳西州橡树岭橡树岭国家实验室。这是一个两层的木框架结构，最近用铝壁板覆盖。该建筑48000英尺（4460平方米）的大部分建筑面积被用作大约200名工程人员的办公室。在评估节能替代方案时考虑的建筑的其他特征如下:墙壁和地板-木材，无隔热屋顶-平的，组合式，带天花板和3英寸。（7.6 em）吹毛隔热窗-双悬挂，带铝框-2465荧光灯泡！，40瓦每一次通风-4700立方英尺（133立方厘米）用于厕所和蓝图机器的排气-工作日上午8:00至下午3:30，通风系统-电动底板加热器冷却系统-160套空调机组设备-各种小型设备，如复印机、自动售货机、水冷却器，而蓝图机器建造1000座没有任何特点，这将使它特别浪费或节约能源。 该建筑被视为1973年石油禁运之前建造的任何数量的办公楼的代表。因此，它提供了一个评估节能替代方案的机会，这些替代方案存在于节能时代之前建造的建筑中，并且在全国很常见。引文:ASHRAE交易，第82卷，第2部分，华盛顿州西雅图

Building 1000 is a 25-year old office building, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is a two-story, wooden frame stru~ture which has been recently covered with aluminum siding. Most of the building's 48,000 ft (4460 m2) of floor area is utilized as offices for approximately 200 engineering personnel. Other characteristics of,the building which were considered in evaluating energy conservation alternatives are as follows:Walls and Floors - Wood, with no insulationRoof - Flat, built-up, with ceiling and 3 in. (7.6 em) of blown wool insulationWindows - Double-hung, with aluminum framesLights - 2,465 fluorescent bulbf!, 40 watts eachVentilation - 4,700 cfm (133 cmm) exhaust for toilets and blueprint machinesOccupancy - 8:00 A.M. to ~:30 P.M., weekdaysHeating System - Electric baseboard heatersCooling System - 160 package air-conditioning unitsEquipment - Miscellaneous small equipment, such as copiers, vending machines, water coolers, and blueprint machinesBuilding 1000 bas no characteristics which would make it particularly wasteful or conservative of energy. The building is seen as representative of any number of office buildings, which were built prior to the oil embargo of 1973. Therefore, it provides an opportunity to evaluate energy conservation alternatives which exist in buildings constructed prior to the energyconservation era and which are common throughout the country.
