<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>This will not entirely cover
what you want, but it may give you a good start. DOE has published benchmark energy
models and results for 16 different types of commercial buildings in 16 ASHRAE
90.1-2004 climate zones here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If you prefer not to dive into
the energy models themselves, you can get most of what you would need to know
about them in the “scorecard” spreadsheets. Each scorecard lists
the inputs and results for one particular building type across all the climate
zones. Tip - to get the scorecard files, you will need to download the zip
files by building type, not climate zone. It looks like Alaska has climate
zones 7 and 8. Climate zone 7 was simulated using the TMY2 Duluth, MN weather
file, and climate zone 8 was simulated using the TMY2 Fairbanks, AK weather
file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>One big caveat – for a
more apples-to-apples comparison, system types were not varied across climate
zones according to local practices. If you want to know what system types are
more common in Alaska vs. another region, these models will not provide you
with that information. They are simulations intended to represent average (new
construction) buildings, but not any one particular real building.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
