Managing the risk of the energy performance gap in non-domestic buildings [PDF]
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2021 Energy use in buildings accounts for one-third of the overall global energy consumption and total building floor area continues to increase each year as new developments are constructed and delivered. If stringent climate goals are to be met, these buildings will need to consume less energy and emit less carbon.
