abstract={Research output to identify and assess potential improvements in energy and emissions performance for non-domestic buildings constructed in Scotland set via Section 6 of the Scottish Building Standards (energy). This was to inform the setting of targets within the next set of energy standards.},
annote={[**UF]  Quote: "Following a 'fabric first' approach, the performance of the building envelope was first considered for improvement. It was found that there was little evidence to support significant improvement in this area, and so all three options adopt the same fabric standard as the current standard in most areas."},
