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.

Seeking the Pressure Points: Catalysing Low Carbon Changes from the Middle-Out in Offices and Schools

Energies, 2021
Non-domestic buildings are frequently characterised as resistant to top-down low-carbon and energy-efficiency policy. Complex relationships amongst building stakeholders are often blamed.

Atria, Roof-space Solar Collectors and Windows for Low-energy New and Renovated Office Buildings: a Review

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

Building stock energy modelling in the UK: the 3DStock method and the London Building Stock Model

Buildings & Cities, 2020
A brief history is provided of models of energy use in the UK building stock, with the focus on the non-domestic sector. This history leads to an account of the development, since 2009, of the 3DStock method for modelling complete building stocks, both ...

Water savings and urban storm water management: Evaluation of the potentiality of rainwater harvesting systems from the building to the city scale

PLoS ONE, 2022
The main potential benefits of rainwater harvesting, namely water saving and storm water management, are easily evaluable at a building scale when well-known behavioral models are used. However, the evaluation is often more complex at an urban scale, due
