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.

Study on the performance temporal variation of rainwater harvesting systems based on the dynamic change of rainfall pattern and domestic water demands [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHs) in buildings are benefits in alleviating urban water scarcity. However, climate change and changes in building water demand affect the expected performance of RWHs over their life cycle.

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.

Decarbonising non-domestic buildings at scale − A systematic review

Energy and Buildings
The 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

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.

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 ...
