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.

Non-Invasive Approaches for Low-Energy Retrofit of Buildings:Implementation, Monitoring and Simulation in a Living Lab Case Study [PDF]
, 2017 There is urgent need for Europe to transform into a low-carbon economy to reduce the risk of climate change. The building sector is responsible for nearly 40% of the total energy consumption in Europe.

Model-predictive control for non-domestic buildings: a critical review and prospects [PDF]
, 2017 Model-predictive control (MPC) has recently excited a great deal of interest as a new control paradigm for non-domestic buildings. Since it is based on the notion of optimisation, MPC is, in principle, well-placed to deliver significant energy savings ...

Metrics for energy performance in operation: the fallacy of single indicators
Buildings & Cities, 2020 Many countries and organisations have now endorsed the climate emergency. New and existing buildings must play a big part in tackling this, though past history has been disappointing, e.g.

The use of cold nuclear fusion for heating buildings and structures
Современная наука и инновации, 2023 Introduction: The construction of buildings originated with man and developed in the same way. Man created a variety of structures for his being and work, equipping premises to solve certain problems.

Improved occupancy monitoring in non-domestic buildings
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2017 Measuring occupancy can facilitate energy efficiency in non-domestic buildings, when control systems are able to adjust heating and cooling based on demand rather than fixed schedules. The variable “occupancy profile” itself is rarely considered as a control system parameter in building energy management systems (BEMS), and this is largely because ...
