最近完成了一项研究，以描述美国现有的典型小型商业建筑的特征，并评估改造措施的潜力，以减少能源使用和峰值电力需求。重点是符合国会规定的商业和公寓保护服务（CACS）计划的商业建筑，即年能耗低于4.8万kWh的电力和1.2万therms的任何其他燃料。改造节能估算基于从九个城市的291栋小型商业建筑收集的信息中选择的具有代表性的物理和能源使用特征。能源使用情况因建筑类型和位置的不同而显著不同，但通过在现代工业中使用五种常见的改造措施，预计每年总节能26%至49%- 类型和较旧的两层建筑模型。这些型号的峰值电力需求从15千瓦到50千瓦不等，预计改造后可节省4千瓦到29千瓦。单位:I-PCITION:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。你好，檀香山2B

Research has recently been completed to characterize typical small commercial buildings existing in the United States and to assess the potential of retrofit measures to reduce energy use and peak electric demand. The focus has been on commercial buildings that will be eligible under the Commercial and Apartment Conservation Service (CACS) Program mandated by Congress, i.e., with annual energy consumption less than 48 thousand kWh of electricity and 12 thousand therms of any other fuel.Estimates of retrofit energy savings were based on representative physical and energy-use characteristics selected from information collected on 291 small commercial buildings in nine cities. Energy-use profiles varied significantly with building type and location, but total annual energy savings of 26 to 49% were predicted from use of five common retrofit measures in modern strip-type and older two-story building models. Peak electric demand ranged from 15 to 50 kW for these models, with predicted retrofit savings of 4 to 29 kW.Units: I-P
