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

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.

A Semantically Data-Driven Classification Framework for Energy Consumption in Buildings
Energies, 2022 Encouraged by the European Union, all European countries need to enforce solutions to reduce non-renewable energy consumption in buildings. The reduction of energy (heating, domestic hot water, and appliances consumption) aims for the vision of near-zero

Evaluating energy performance in non-domestic buildings: A review
Energy and Buildings, 2016 Evaluation methods can be used to determine what constitutes good energy performance in a building. With an increasing focus on energy use of buildings worldwide, this evaluation assumes a fundamental importance. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the available methods for analysing, classifying, benchmarking, rating and evaluating energy ...
