Characterising Space Use and Electricity Consumption in Non-domestic Buildings
… used in the operation of the United Kingdom’s non-domestic buildings contributes 18% of national carbon dioxide emissions and reducing these is government policy. The use of electrical equipment in buildings is a major contributor to overall consumption, due to both its intrinsic energy …

Spatial Distributions of Domestic and Non-Domestic Violence by Firearm Involvement
… is influenced by whether the incident was domestic or not, firearm-involved or not, and any combination of these characteristics, to determine if disaggregation of the data into subgroups may aid in policy development. Data on murder, non-negligent manslaughter, and aggravated assault …

Decision-making in the selection of retrofit facades for non-domestic buildings
… can be improved to support façade selection in non-domestic building retrofit. A state-of-the-art literature review of office building façade retrofit decision-making only returned nine case studies, of which six reported real-life façade retrofit selection. One real-life and one theoretical …

Investigation of spermatozoal metabolism and substrate utilization in domestic and non-domestic felids
… sperm metabolism using semen collected from domestic cats (Felis catus), cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), and clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa). The main objectives of this research were to: 1) characterize the metabolome of spermatozoa and seminal fluid; 2) investigate the role of β-oxidation …

Narrowing the Energy Performance Gap in Non-Domestic Buildings with Aspirational Sustainability Targets
The non-domestic building sector has in recent years witnessed a boom in the number of ostensibly ‘green’ buildings certified under the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) and similar rating schemes. Despite the proliferation of aspirationally sustainable …

Climate-responsive design for non-domestic buildings in warm climates : optimisation of thermal mass for indoor cooling
The present investigation focuses on the study of the thermal inertia of buildings examining the extent to which the envelope and internal components can moderate their internal climate. Especial emphasis is given to the analysis of thermal mass effects in conditions of overheating in buildings …

Modelling on-domestic buildings energy performance using machine learning methods, a case study of the UK
In the UK, only 7% of non-domestic buildings are newly built, whilst this sector generates 20% of total gas emission. Consequently, the government has setregulations to decrease the amount of energy take-up by buildings. It is apparent from the seminal literature that deep energy retrofit is the …

Structured Mining and Analysis of Public Energy Data to Evaluate, Improve and Assist the Execution of the UK’s Built Environment Energy Efficiency Policies
… a two-step framework, demonstrated by analysing domestic gas consumption, to bridge the resolution differences between data and policy executive bodies. Different clustering algorithms (i.e. Gaussian Mixture Model and Hierarchical Clustering) were selected to cope with the objective in each …

The zoo as paradoxical discourse : a social space of paradoxical construction and deconstruction of knowledge about animals
… reconstruction of the knowledge and meaning of non-domestic animals. It examines the influence of current animal rights and conservation discourse on the evolution of the zoo's architecture and purpose, and its effect on those that use the zoo. Fieldwork was conducted in three different zoos in …

A data-centric stochastic model for simulation of occupant-related energy demand in buildings
… responsibility for consumption, in the non-domestic sector the financial responsibility may not lie with the building occupants and hence it is harder to target demand reduction interventions. In addition, while in a residential building the behaviour of the individual has a direct and …

Crafting Clementina: Using Material Culture to Interpret the Contributions of 18th-century American Craftswomen in Scholarship and at Public History Sites
… the 18th-century women who labored in other non-domestic trades, including blacksmiths, bookbinders, silversmiths, and carpenters. Applying these methods can help scholars and public history audiences think more critically about diverse perspectives within and contributions to early American …

British Masculinities Beyond Patriarchy, 1689-1702
… this project seeks to add to the scholarship on nonpatriarchal constructions, understandings, and norms of masculinity. Four non-domestic settings were particularly prominent and recurrent throughout the autobiographical sources and normative literature of the period: the military, government and …

An Investigation into the Management of Energy Performance for Building Services Systems: Design to Operation
Non-domestic buildings account for 12% of UK greenhouse emissions (CIBSE, 2017). There is acceptance that the energy performance of buildings must improve. Presently building energy data is only available in terms of total annual fossil or electrical energy totals. These are blunt instruments for …
