Abstract

This report investigates the opportunities for achieving zero carbon new non-domestic buildings. Although this is an important element in reducing the carbon emissions associated with non-domestic buildings, it does not present the whole picture. Given the rate of replacement of the non-domestic building stock attention must be given to the refurbishment of existing stock in order to achieve the carbon emissions savings required to meet national carbon reduction targets going forward. In addition, this report concentrates only on the energy consumed directly by new nondomestic buildings and does not consider the overall building carbon footprint. This carbon footprint, which could include the links between the building and transport networks, logistics, water use, embodied energy and construction energy use for example, would present a more holistic picture of the carbon emissions associated with non-domestic buildings.
