Audit-Based Energy Performance Analysis of Multifamily Buildings in South-East Poland
Energies, 2023 Multifamily buildings account for about half of all residential buildings in Poland and about 70% of the urban population live in them. Most of them require thermal refurbishment.

Applied Energy, 2020 Non-domestic buildings contribute 20% of the UK’s annual carbon emissions. A contribution exacerbated by its ageing stock of which only 7% is considered new-build.

Australian non-domestic buildings policy as an international exemplar
Buildings & Cities, 2021 The Australian policy approach, based on the NABERS energy performance benchmarking scheme for commercial offices, is promoted as a ‘success story’ and is of interest to governments internationally. This paper explores the evidence for the impacts of the

How the meanings of ‘home’ influence energy-consuming practices in domestic buildings
Energy Efficiency, 2020 The UK introduced carbon budgets in 2008, with an aim to reduce greenhouse gases by 80% by 2050 compared with the 1990 levels. It has been argued that the 2015 Paris Agreement on limiting the global average temperature rise to ‘well below 2° C’ requires ...

Journal of Sustainable Design and Applied Research in Innovative Engineering of the Built Environment, 2020 As part of achieving near zero energy of?ce buildings, solar gains can be optimised by built form, internal layout and the position, type and area of windows. Those solar gains can then displace heating and lighting energy in most non- domestic buildings

Quantifying the domestic building fabric ‘performance gap’ [PDF]
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2015 In the UK, there is mounting evidence that the measured in situ performance of the building fabric in new build dwellings can be greater than that predicted, resulting in a significant building fabric ‘performance gap’. This paper presents the coheating test results from 25 new build dwellings built to Part L1A 2006 or better.

Retrofit at scale: accelerating capabilities for domestic building stocks [PDF]
Buildings and Cities, 2021 Highlights Retrofitting domestic buildings is essential for meeting targets to mitigate the catastrophic impacts of our changing climate. Current rates of retrofitting are far lower than necessary for achieving global net zero climate targets. To date in privately owned homes, policymakers have largely relied on piecemeal activity and often short-lived

Energies, 2022 Determining the demand for heat power for domestic hot water preparation is necessary to perform a building energy assessment. For this, we need to predict domestic hot water consumption.

Sizing Combined Heat and Power Units and Domestic Building Energy Cost Optimisation
Energies, 2017 Many combined heat and power (CHP) units have been installed in domestic buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs. However, inappropriate sizing of a CHP may actually increase energy costs and reduce energy efficiency.
