This report describes the results of a two-year, Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) study intended to improve understanding of the new commercial building stock in the Pacific Northwest region. The study provides a new regional baseline for current practices in commercial buildings constructed between 2002 and 2004 and compares those practices with previous baseline and code compliance studies conducted from 1996 to 1998. The study also looks at changes in design professionals’ attitudes toward energy efficiency across the same periods.
