No, not really. The CBECS principal building activities(PBAs) were designed to group buildings that have similar patterns of energy consumption, and are much broader than the NAICS or SIC codes. Many NAICS codes could have more than one possible CBECS PBA. It is also somewhat difficult to compare these since CBECS deals with the building whereas NAICS deals with the industry—for example, a dormitory on a college campus would be classified as “lodging” in the CBECS but probably as “education” in NAICS or SIC. However, due to popular demand, we have attempted to create a rough crosswalk of CBECS PBAs to 2002 NAICS codes (3 digit) [opens an Excel file in a new window].
