Achieving nearly zero energy buildings in Greece
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract Energy consumption of buildings in Europe is still high despite their significant savings potential. The European Union has issued a number of directives to reduce energy consumption in buildings in its Member States. Each country has put in place the best minimum requirements to make its buildings more energy efficient.
