Summary Comparison Table
(All Activities)
There were an estimated 309,000 education buildings in the U.S. in 1995.
In the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), education buildings include those that are used for academic or technical classroom instruction. They include preschools, elementary schools, middle or junior high schools, high schools, vocational schools, and college or university classrooms.
Even though a building may be part of an education campus or complex, it is not necessarily considered to be an education building in the CBECS. If the building is not used primarily for classroom purposes, then it would be defined by the activity that occurs in the building. For example: the dining hall on a college campus would be classified as food service; the administration building would be classified as an office. (See Description of Building Types on the main CBECS page for a more detailed description.)
