How energy efficient can commercial and multifamily buildings become in the near future if first cost is
not considered? This presentation describes how building energy simulation modeling was used to try to answer this question. The RP-1651 project involves; identifying advanced technologies to include in modeling of ultra-low energy targets, simulating maximum commercial building energy efficiency levels that are technically achievable now or in the near future by modeling using the DOE reference building models, simulating alternative scenarios examining the relative impact of groups of measures and finally, the energy savings results for the reference buildings and climates will be discussed.
