This report characterizes the commercial building stock in the Pacific Northwest. Jointly sponsored by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (Alliance), Bonneville Power Administration, the Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO), and Puget Sound Energy, the study was intended to (1) update the results of several recent surveys of the nonresidential sector in the region, and (2) provide information on changes in the commercial building stock. The emphasis is on energy-use intensity (EUI) and penetration of energy-efficient technologies and practices. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for several current planning, forecasting, and program development initiatives by various entities in the region.
