Please be more specific, because you mentioned the ASHRAE design standards, are you referring to benchmarking the EUI of a building? Or also talking about the thermal performance of a building?
After designing and working on several similar projects with clients whom have similar goals, it becomes easier to discern what the result will be. But as you already know its dependent on climate/building type/fuel type, etc.
Currently for benchmark analysis any information you can get from Energy Star portfolio manager would be good, also the numbers from CBECS. But it can be difficult to track down the exact information you are looking for and you generally run into problems of small sample size and just not enough information.
