Are there any real-world data sets available that provide electric consumption data broken out by End Use or Submeter for commercial buildings?

Clarification: - 15 minute interval data (hourly would also work) - Ideally, all major commercial building types: - Office - Retail - Restaurant - Supermarket - School - Hotel - Hospital

That is what I feared :( I thought I'd ask in case there was some set of data that everyone uses that I don't know about

I've edited the original question, but ideally this would be 15 minute interval data and would cover most major building

I need to compute the total Gross Square Feet (GSF) for each building that I simulate with EnergyPlus. Is there an easy way to extract GSF from the IDF or simulation output, preferably in an automated way?

Thank you! This is exactly what I need!

Nope - one building per IDF in my case.

I currently have my schedules defined as Schedule:Compact in my IDF files. I would like to automatically convert these to 8760 files suitable for use in an IDF as a Schedule:File input.

Is there a way I can use EnergyPlus to read in my IDFs containing Schedule:Compact elements and somehow generate the equivalent hourly 8760 data file for use as a Schedule:File?

Thank you!
