Assuming you are comparing to the 90.1-2016 prototype, and the CBECC-Com 040012-OffLrg-CECStd.cibd16 model, the biggest difference is the DOE prototype has a data center in the basement, where as the CBECC-Com model is parking garage. Beyond that, there are other differences in the code, and then also in how the systems are simulated. Weather I expect would result in a <5% difference.
I would expect the CBECC-Com EUI to be closer to 30 kBtu/SF. Can you post the results that you used to calculate the 15 EUI you mention?
