PNNL Prototype Scorecards versus DOE Building Prototype

Been a little while since I've been active on here! I'm looking to understand the difference in purpose and accuracy between the PNNL Prototype Buildings vs the DOE Prototype Buildings. I am modeling existing higher education facilities ranging from ~1800's to the present day, and I think that any standard I look towards for appropriate schedules, occupancy loads, plug loads, lighting loads, people loads, ventilation loads, common spaces types, etc. would be especially helpful. I have yet to find prototype buildings that I feel come close to what is on my campus.

I might be asking two separate questions, so I can create a new post if that were to help.
