Modelling Energy Performance of Non-domestic Buildings
2021This 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.

Passive Solar Design In Non-Domestic Buildings
1984The 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 ...

DAYLIGHTING TECHNOLOGIES IN NON-DOMESTIC BUILDINGS
International Journal of Solar Energy, 1994Abstract 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.

Understanding the New Zealand non-domestic building stock
Building Research & Information, 2013Unlike 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.
