A Look at Education Buildings
Are they on multibuilding complexes?
How do they use energy and how much does it cost?
Are they on multibuilding complexes?
Eighty percent of education buildings (247 thousand) are located on a multibuilding campus or complex (two or more buildings on the same site, owned or operated by a single organization, business or individual).
Although the 1995 CBECS did not distinguish between different types of education buildings, we can make some comparisons between primary/secondary education and college/university buildings for those that are on a campus.
Buildings on college/university campuses tend to be large buildings that are more energy intensive users of energy than primary/secondary education buildings.
