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.

This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the US Department of Energy In the future, the characteristics defined in this paper will be specified in more detail to develop the prototype convenience store building energy models specific to different climate zones and construction vintages. After developing those prototype convenience store building models, their fuel consumption intensity will be compared with CBECS and ENERGY STAR data to verify simulation results.
