Abstract
The energy use of the Supreme Court and Attorney General
buildings in Austin, Texas was analyzed using the D0E-2.1B
building energy simulation program. An analysis was made for each
building as specified in the building plans and the
specifications provided by the State Purchasing and General
Services Commission. The proposed construction of the Supreme
Court and Attorney General buildings reflect improvements in
energy use over buildings built several years ago.
The energy consumption of these buildings were compared with
the energy consumption of the buildings modified to comply with
the ASHRAE standards. The net reduction of 44% in energy use was
obtained using the ASHRAE standards.
