This paper reviews the discrepancy between predicted and measured energy use in non-
domestic buildings in a UK context with outlook to global studies. It explains differences …

The performance gap of buildings is commonly defined as the difference between the
performance value predicted in the design stage and that measured in the post-occupancy …

Over the past 20 years a number of studies have identified and provided explanations for a
significant 'performance gap'between designed and actual energy performance of buildings …

Residential and commercial buildings in the United States accounted for 40% of total energy
in 2020. Building energy modeling (BEM) is a useful tool that allows individuals …

Selecting an appropriate software tool for a particular energy-management system is a
challenging task as there is little information available and several software tools to pick …

The green building concept originated from the need and desire for more energy efficient
and environmentally friendly construction practices. With a boom in certified green buildings …

To align the buildings sector with the 1.5° C climate change trajectory, enormous
improvements in energy efficiency are needed. It is therefore crucial that the tools used to …

The design intent and the performance targets of projects may sometimes fail to match a
building's actual post-occupancy performance. The mismatch of intended and actual …

A longitudinal variability in operational energy use has to be taken into account when
investigating the energy performance gap. Although building energy modelling is an integral …
