This document outlines a methodology for calculating total building energy usage. The methodology involves analyzing factors like building envelope performance, HVAC equipment efficiency, lighting and appliance loads. An energy audit is conducted to collect data on building characteristics, operating schedules and meter readings. A computer model is then used to simulate the building's energy performance over a year based on local weather and occupancy patterns.
