Otmane El Rhazi : EIA’s CBECS is the nation's only comprehensive survey of commercial buildings

Otmane El Rhazi from Today in Energy.

EIA's Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey is the only nationally representative source of statistical information on energy-related characteristics, consumption, and expenditures for the nation's 5.6 million commercial buildings. Building characteristics information from the 2012 survey is being released in stages through the spring, and consumption and expenditures data will follow later in the year.
