A database of the non-domestic building stock of Britain

Automation in Construction, 1993
Abstract This paper describes a research programme sponsored by the British Department of Environment whose goal is to build a database of the non-domestic building stock of England and Wales. This database will contain information about all buildings, other than houses and flats, throughout the country.

DAYLIGHTING TECHNOLOGIES IN NON-DOMESTIC BUILDINGS

International Journal of Solar Energy, 1994
Abstract Natural daylight is an inexpensive and very efficient light source provided that the amount of daylight entering a building is controlled according to demand. In commercial buildings electricity for lighting can be cut by 50-75% using daylighting design techniques in combination with efficient artificial lighting.

Passive Solar Design In Non-Domestic Buildings

1984
The main purpose of the work reported here was to make a broad assessment of the potential contribution which passive solar design might make to the demand for energy in both new and existing non-domestic buildings in the UK. It was found that the basic definition of a passive solar system requires extending when applied to non-domestic buildings, in ...

Assessing the trends of energy use of public non-domestic buildings in England and Wales [PDF]

Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2019
Accessing sufficient data for understanding how energy is used in non-domestic buildings is deemed to be a challenge in many countries. In the UK, such a challenge has led to limited understanding of long-term changes in energy use of buildings.

Understanding the New Zealand non-domestic building stock

Building Research & Information, 2013
Unlike the residential building stock, most countries have poor information on their non-domestic stock. This necessitates the use of other data sources. In the mid-1980s the (then) New Zealand Department of Valuation digitized its valuation records. This permitted the first analysis of an entire country's non-domestic buildings.

Ventilation requirements in non-domestic buildings and energy efficiency

Energy and Buildings, 1998
Abstract This paper focuses on the importance of the level of ventilation requirements on the energy demand of non-domestic buildings. At present, we observe a tremendous difference in the ventilation requirements in various countries as well as at the European level.

Longitudinal analysis of energy metering data from non-domestic buildings

Building Research & Information, 2010
To identify, understand and reduce energy wastage in buildings, a significant indicator is time patterns of consumption linked to building occupancy. Advanced metering can log energy data at short half-hourly intervals or less. However, analysis of these data may still often follow traditional monitoring and targeting techniques developed previously ...

Life-cycle assessment of non-domestic building stocks

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2022
Building stock models (BSMs) are essential for simulating the contributions of regional and national building sectors to climate change under different policy scenarios, and for identifying pathways to climate change mitigation. To date, BSMs have focused on the operational life-cycle impacts of domestic dwellings; there has been less emphasis either ...

Influence of district features on energy consumption in non-domestic buildings

Building Research & Information, 2013
The spatial variability of gas consumption is investigated in non-domestic buildings across districts of Greater London, UK. It is argued that the energy consumption of a building is to some extent influenced by where the building is located in a city, due to contextual features of its own district as well as those of neighbouring districts.
