Internal Mass Estimations for Grocery Stores

1 post / 0 new

Hello,

Are there any known resources that provide internal mass estimates (mass/floor area) for energy modeling of big-box commercial retail stores, particularly of the grocery store type? Obviously, internal mass estimations have a significant impact on HVAC energy consumption and, as I am experiencing, the default internal mass amounts in the EnergyPlus reference buildings tend to be an underestimate for retail stores.

Thanks!
Lesley
