The project addresses the factors that can lead to poor building industry compliance within the regulatory regime and provides effective strategies for motivating industry to comply, including in relation to energy efficiency.
Non-domestic buildings were responsible for 120TWh energy consumption and 48MtCO2e emissions in the UK in 2010. There is an acknowledged 'performance gap' between the design expectation and operational reality of most bu...
