Abstract
The US Department of Energy supports the development of commercial building energy codes and standards. To support commercial building energy research activities, continuous efforts have been made to convert 30 prototype building models, which cover 80% of commercial building floor space in the United States, into OpenStudio Standards prototype buildings. In this paper, we provide a systematic approach to define the building and system characteristics of a convenience store, which has the largest energy use intensity among the commercial building types not covered by current prototype models. This study will be used as a basis for developing the prototype convenience store building model.
