Abstract

This study examines several non-domestic building construction techniques and their impact on a typical UK supermarket's building performance under the worst-case scenarios of the period of climate change in the 2080s. To determine operating energy consumption and carbon emissions, emphasis is placed primarily on the three LIDL-approved construction techniques and the materials used in their construction. The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) provides the current and projected weather files to be tested, and Thermal Analysis Software (TAS), a dynamic building simulation tool, is used to quantify the results and generate reports. The case study is based on a recently constructed single-story supermarket building in Norwich and employs three building models, P1, P2, and P3, each of which uses a particular set of construction materials. The results indicate that the percentage increase in energy consumption and carbon emissions for models P1 and P2 is close to 8.80%. However, P3 model has an increase of less than 8.50% when compared to the building's current condition, making it a marginally better option. It suggests that a precast concrete and glulam beam structure offer the best resistance against the worst climate change scenario. While presenting the findings, this investigation merges the two distinct aspects of the built environment, construction and operation.
