A Review on the Performance of Concrete Containing Non-Potable Water
Applied Sciences, 2021 Construction industries consume huge amounts of potable water during activities such as washing of aggregates, stone crushing, manufacturing, and curing of concrete, mortars, grouts, and wetting of masonry bricks.

Opposition diagrams for automorphisms of large spherical buildings [PDF]
, 2018 Let $\theta$ be an automorphism of a thick irreducible spherical building $\Delta$ of rank at least $3$ with no Fano plane residues. We prove that if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices by $\theta ...

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.

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.

Overheating and energy use in urban office buildings in a warming climate
Japan Architectural Review, 2023 Buildings are responsible for one‐third of the UK's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The move to reduce emissions has resulted in recent stringent building regulations primarily aimed at reducing heating and associated energy use, often by improving the ...

Evaluation of Energy Use in Public Housing in Lagos, Nigeria: Prospects for Renewable Energy Sources
International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2016 Even though domestic energy can be from either renewable or non-renewable sources, the former is preferred because of its role in reducing both the operational energy intensity and carbon footprint.
