I was actually looking to compare to the ENERGY STAR target finder, the numbers they generate are based on the CBECS, which Vikram and Bob also mentioned.  These, however, are existing buildings though and I guess I'm more concerned with new construction and a ASHRAE Baseline model performance, which I've seen in the 60 kbtu/ft2 range.  Does ASHRAE publish anything relative to maybe an average building EUI?

All,

I have developed a baseline building and calculated its energy use index (EUI), total source building btu use divided by building square footage, and I am curious to compare it to other models.  Obviously since many users on this list are from very different climate zones, we will get some varying answers.  However, I would still be interested to see what kind of use different buildings are characterized by, especially in Michigan.  Or, if any of you know a resource that I can use to reference this type of information, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!
