  title = {Action-Oriented Benchmarking: Using the CEUS Database to Benchmarking Commercial Buildings in California},
  abstract = {<p>The 2006 Commercial End Use Survey (CEUS) database developed by the California Energy Commission is a far richer source of energy end-use data for non-residential buildings than has previously been available and opens the possibility of creating new and more powerful energy benchmarking processes and tools. In this article — Part 2 of a two-part series — we describe the methodology and selected results from an action-oriented benchmarking approach using the new CEUS database. This approach goes beyond whole-building energy benchmarking to more advanced end-use and component-level benchmarking that enables users to identify and prioritize specific energy efficiency opportunities &mdash; an improvement on benchmarking tools typically in use today.</p>},
