Buildings Sector Scenarios (BSS)

Metadata Updated: November 22, 2025

The Buildings Sector Scenarios (BSS) dataset establishes and simulates a plausible range of scenarios for U.S. buildings sector development between now and 2050 with a high degree of geographic and temporal resolution. The BSS framework integrates the capabilities of existing modeling tools to pair detailed snapshots of the buildings sector today with representation of the key drivers of change in building and technology stocks over time. The high granularity and extensive scope of BSS data position this modeling resource as a starting point for diverse stakeholder analyses, ranging from the use of regional or national estimates of annual demand to evaluate program impacts to the use of county-level hourly electricity data to inform grid planning efforts and supply-side scenario modeling exercises.
