Nonresidential buildings energy consumption survey: Building characteristics

Data on the characteristics of nonresidential buildings in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia are presented. The information was collected through personal interviews conducted with building representatives. A summary of the survey design, data collection procedures, and techniques used to convert the sample data to national estimates is given. Estimated counts and percent distributions are presented by building type for selected building characteristics. These building characteristics include: location; structural features; use and occupancy characteristics; types of fuels coming into the building. The same building characteristics are given for all nonresidential buildings by square footage and year of construction.
