Categorising emissions in non-domestic buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
This report explores the pros and cons of different methods to apportion measured direct emissions from heat use categories in non-domestic buildings. Through analysis and stakeholder engagement, it also assesses different practical and feasible ways to regulate direct emissions at a building level.

Modelling Energy Performance of Non-domestic Buildings

open access: yes, 2021
This chapter presents an energy performance prediction model for the UK non-domestic buildings supported by machine learning. The aim of the model is to provide a rapid energy performance estimation engine for assisting multi-objective optimisation of non-domestic building energy retrofit planning.

An evidence review of data associated with non-domestic buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Scotland’s Heat in Buildings Strategy sets out a pathway to zero emissions buildings by 2045 and details actions that will accelerate the transformation of the nation’s building stock. The Strategy commits to the conversion of the equivalent of 50,000 non-domestic buildings to zero emissions heat by 2030.

Building bioclimatic charts for non-domestic buildings and passive downdraught evaporative cooling

Building and Environment, 2004
Abstract The building bioclimatic charts of Givoni are used to test whether passive downdraught evaporative cooling, in conjunction with night ventilation, might yield thermal comfort in an office building in Southern Europe. Dynamic thermal simulation indicated that the direct evaporative cooling boundary, proposed by Givoni, was an unreliable ...

An Introduction to the National Non-Domestic Building Stock Database

Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2000
The origins, purpose, and scope of the Non-Domestic Building Stock (NDBS) database of England and Wales are described. Nondomestic buildings are defined and sources of the data used in the database are identified. The structure of the database, and the role of the classification of nondomestic buildings, are described and discussed.

Retrofitting the city: reuse of non-domestic buildings

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Urban Design and Planning, 2010
The aim of this paper is to identify and understand the commercial framing of retrofitting activities of existing buildings in the UK, the mediation of these issues in current regeneration processes and their relation to objectives for sustainable development. A case study focusing on the dynamics and retrofitting of non-domestic buildings in Bristol,
