Texas Capitol Extension Building3 - Built in 1992 as an efficient building and commissioned to design specifications by the contractor. The "before" CC® cost index was $ 1.50 / sq.ft. of conditioned space, resulting in a total energy bill of about $539,000 per year. In 1995, the Continuous Commissioning® implementation provided savings of $144,700 per year or about 27%.

Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah - This Energy Star building (Figure 1) was built in 1998 and had a very low energy cost of $1.07 / sq.ft. CC was implemented in 2002 and reduced this cost by 18% with a one year payback while improving comfort and reducing trouble calls. (See the detailed case study)
Starr Building in Austin - An older building, renovated in 1963 with the HVAC system replaced in 1982.
