For comparison, Council staff reviewed average commercial building energy use intensity (EUI) values and netted out the total technical achievable potential, and then compared that to sample EUI targets from ASHRAE and the Washington Clean buildings law. Using the Council's bottom up method, the EUI targets (on average) were exceeded.
