Description: This study presents the first international comparison of energy use and structure in the service sector of major OECD countries. This sector includes offices, hospitals, schools, stores and other buildings commonly referred to as ‘commercial buildings’. The authors separate service sector energy use from other sectors, examine differences in fuel mix, energy intensity, electricity use and conservation experience, as well as fundamental differences in the extent and make up of the building stock and the climate. Most countries are seen to have reduced energy intensity since 1973; all have reduced the share of heating oil and increased the use of electricity, both for space conditioning as well as for other building services. The authors find that energy intensity in US commercial and institutional buildings is among the highest in the OECD, while electricity intensities in Norway, Canada, the USA and Sweden are well above those in other countries.
