The project partially answers the question by refining and promoting a methodology for enhancing energy performance in existing buildings, but does not fully answer the question.
Non-domestic buildings account for approximately 18% of UK carbon emissions and 13% of final energy consumption. In contrast to domestic buildings, which can be well characterised by a few representative archetypes, the ...

The project fully answers the question by developing and demonstrating novel adaptive methods to improve the energy performance of existing buildings.
Non-domestic buildings currently generate 18% of the UK's carbon emissions, >40% of which is due to space heating/cooling. Innovations in control are predicted to save > 25% of this figure making a sizeable contrib...
