Summary

Energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings accounts for approximately 40% (22% residential and 18% commercial) of total energy consumption in the United States, which is more than any other energy end-use sector. By comparison, the industrial sector accounts for about 32% and transportation accounts for about 28% of primary energy consumption. Utility costs and the environmental impact of this energy consumption are important to facility managers and building owners. Building automation systems in general, and BACnet systems in particular, are important tools for managing energy consumption in commercial buildings.
