This study reviews and summarizes existing data on energy demand, within the framework of geographical regions and specific residential or commercial building types, for the time frames of 1980 to 1985, 1985 to 1990, 1990 to 2000. It reviews and summarizes a variety of proposed energy conservation scenarios, applies each scenario to the energy consumption data for each time frame, and establishes the amounts of energy conserved by each scenario. It establishes a base energy demand model for specific residential or commercial building types within each geographical region. These base models could then be used in conjunction with existing steady-state energy demand models to help ascertain energy conservation strategies for individual buildings. Specific assumptions that apply to energy demand, construction variables, or conservation scenarios are outlined in separate Residential, Commercial, and Conservation Scenario Sections of this study.
