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

Non-domestic building stock: linking dynamics and spatial distributions
Buildings & Cities, 2023 In contrast to domestic buildings, the drivers influencing the stock dynamics (construction subtracted by demolition) of non-domestic buildings (NDB) have not yet been researched on a use-class basis.

Decarbonising non-domestic buildings at scale − A systematic review
Energy and BuildingsThe imperative for decarbonization demands the swift realization of net-zero buildings by 2050. Significant efforts have been directed at new buildings but, looking ahead, there is a need to shift towards whole-life management given buildings’ extensive lifetimes. With this objective in mind, this paper delves into scalable strategies for decarbonizing

Low-carbon innovation in non-domestic buildings: The importance of supply chain integration [PDF]
Energy Research and Social Science, 2018 Construction must play a major role in meeting climate change targets, but this will require major changes in industry practice. The sector will need to adopt innovative low-carbon technologies, integrate these within novel building designs and ensure these designs are constructed, implemented and optimised successfully.

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

Iranian Household Electricity Use Compared to Selected Countries
Encyclopedia, 2022 Buildings account for nearly 40% of energy use in global contexts and climatic conditions tend to contribute to consumption. Human activities are also influential in energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that lead to global warming ...

Performance gap analysis case study of a non-domestic building [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Engineering Sustainability, 2015 Addressing the energy performance of buildings is key to achieving global emission reduction targets. Buildings account for 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally. A barrier to increasing the energy efficiency of buildings is the energy use performance gap.

GEOPHYSICS AND BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS, THEIR POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 Geophysical methods and building diagnostics are non-destructive measurements which can inform about quality of rocks, hydrology conditions or artificial objects (tunnels, foundation of buildings, constructions etc.).
