Hi Andrew,<div><br></div><div>I just check the Benchmark models developed in EnergyPlus, there are some examples for these educational buildings. I recommend that you get to check the ASHRAE Standards 90.1-2007 or LEED series standard. Then benchmark models is described as following:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>! DOE Commercial Building Benchmark</div><div>! Secondary school, new construction</div><div>! ASHRAE Standards 90.1-2004 and 62-1999</div><div><div>! Description: Two story, secondary school, 46 zones</div>
<div>! Classrooms, auditorium, gymnasium, cafeteria, kitchen</div><div>! Original model developed for the K-12 Advanced Energy Design Guide</div><div><br></div></div><div><div>! Schedule Elevator</div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>Hello everyone. Does
anyone know of any published literature or data on elevator usage by building
type? I'm looking into my elevator schedules and I'm wondering if LEED
(ASHRAE) has some definitive requirements that I haven't found or whether the
schedules are basically up to me.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>What are typical
energy usage ratios others have used for elevators in higher-education teaching
facilities? I'm finding that even just a 10% reduction in usage (ratio of
0.2 from 0.3) has a substantial decrease in overall building misc. energy
usage.</span></font></div>
