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.

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 ...

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

Energy Consumption In Non-Domestic Buildings: A Review of Schools [PDF]

Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings, 2011
The energy consumption associated with non-domestic buildings represents 11% of the UK’s total energy consumption, 11% of Europe and 18% of the USA’s. A nnual non-domestic building energy consumption is often presented in the form of average benchmarks, such as 450kWh/m2/year for a large airconditioned building and 200kWh/m2/year for a small naturally ...

Managing the risk of the energy performance gap in non-domestic buildings [PDF]

Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2021
Energy use in buildings accounts for one-third of the overall global energy consumption and total building floor area continues to increase each year as new developments are constructed and delivered. If stringent climate goals are to be met, these buildings will need to consume less energy and emit less carbon.
