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

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 ...

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 ...
