ASHRAE will host a luncheon next
month to discuss work on a commercial energy use survey.
Tom Lecky, director of the Energy
Information Administration’s statistics department, will talk about the "Commercial
Buildings Energy Consumption Survey" May 4 at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C.
Ron Jarnagin, president of the
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers, will
moderate.
“The luncheon provides a great
opportunity for ANSI (American National Standards Institute) federation members
and others in the built environment industry to hear about CBECS and how
important it is to building performance benchmarking,” Jarnagin said.
The last commercial energy use
survey was released in 2003. The 2007 version was not released due to data
collection errors, and Congress stopped funding the 2011 survey while it was
under way. Lobbying by ASHRAE and related groups led to money for the 2012
being restored.
Data collection for the new survey will
begin in April 2013, with results about a year later, officials said.
