Optimising operational energy in high-rise office buildings in the UK. The path towards net zero carbon.
Optimising operational energy in high-rise office buildings in the UK. The path towards net zero carbon.
A framework by the UK Green Buildings highlights three key steps to achieve this goal: reducing emissions through efficiency, on-site or off-site renewable energy and using offsetting schemes to address the remaining balance. The high-rise office buildings have experienced a considerable rise recently, spending 68% of total non-domestic electricity use in the UK. Such buildings have a high energy demand and renewable energy sources aren’t well suited for those structures. The current energy and emissions assessment method in England is compliance modelling, which presents a performance gap. This study will evaluate the possibilities for optimising energy use in a typical high-rise building. The analyses go beyond the scope of compliance modelling, addressing the performance gap, followed by the integration of renewables to address the remaining energy demand. Design and climatic applicability synthesise the primary outcomes of this study.

Abstract
A framework by the UK Green Buildings highlights three key steps to achieve this goal: reducing emissions through efficiency, on-site or off-site renewable energy and using offsetting schemes to address the remaining balance. The high-rise office buildings have experienced a considerable rise recently, spending 68% of total non-domestic electricity use in the UK. Such buildings have a high energy demand and renewable energy sources aren’t well suited for those structures. The current energy and emissions assessment method in England is compliance modelling, which presents a performance gap. This study will evaluate the possibilities for optimising energy use in a typical high-rise building. The analyses go beyond the scope of compliance modelling, addressing the performance gap, followed by the integration of renewables to address the remaining energy demand. Design and climatic applicability synthesise the primary outcomes of this study.
