How about using the DOE Commercial Prototype Buildings? There's nothing, IMHO, that would qualify more as a benchmark since it's been used to test and develop ASHRAE 90.1 vintages.
A lot of work has been done to model these within the OpenStudio framework and has been implemented in the openstudio-standards gem development, which now ships by default with every release of OpenStudio since version 1.12. It makes it really easy to generate these using a measure. There's even a Youtube Video to demonstrate how it works!
