12 pages with real content in place. Rewrite them, reorder them, or add your own.
- 1Page 1Title page: the claim as title and subtitle, a 24-hour radial chart of the median building's load against the best tenth as cover art, the authors and the evidence base
- 2Page 2Executive summary: the answer in one headline and paragraph, four key findings with their numbers, Figure 1 (a weekday's load with the avoidable gap shaded) and the four steps recommended
- 3Page 3Contents and about this research: the sections with page numbers, who the paper is for, the data set and the survey in brief, and how to read the figures
- 4Page 4The problem: a building that never sleeps. A week of load for the median building against the best tenth, what draws power at 3 am, and why occupied hours are only 36% of the week
- 5Page 5How big it is: the after-hours share across 1,184 buildings as a histogram, by building type and size, and what the avoidable half is worth in dollars per 1,000 m² and across the sample
- 6Page 6Where the waste goes: the five causes of avoidable after-hours use as a ranked bar, and the facility manager survey on why it persists, with two quotes
- 7Page 7The framework: Find, Fix, Hold, Prove, drawn as a loop, with the question each step answers, what it needs, who owns it and when
- 8Page 8Fix in detail: twelve measures grouped by cost, with typical saving, dollars a year and simple payback, a saving-against-payback chart and comfort limits from ASHRAE 55
- 9Page 9Three examples: an office tower, a secondary school and a medical office building, each with its before-and-after load profile, what was changed and the verified saving
- 10Page 10Recommendations by role: what owners, facility managers, tenants and policymakers should each do, and six questions to ask of a building's data
- 11Page 11The first 90 days as a four-step plan with owners, Figure 11 on how many savings last a year with and without someone watching, and about Meterline

When to use it.
White Paper is a twelve-page A4 template for firms that publish research to win the trust of buyers, shown as a building-energy firm’s paper on why commercial buildings waste electricity when they’re empty. It opens with an executive summary of four findings and the key chart, then sets out the problem in data, how big it is, its causes, a four-step framework, twelve measures with paybacks, three examples with verified results, recommendations by role and a 90-day plan. It closes with the method, a glossary and numbered references, and every chart is drawn from the same figures.
