Nearly-zero Energy Buildings: Cost-optimal Analysis of Building Envelope Characteristics
Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2017 Abstract Energy consumption in the building sector continues to increase in the entire world and therefore, the determination of cost-optimal solutions towards nearly zero-energy buildings is a serious challenge. The present study is focused on the optimal thermal features of the building envelope, including thermal insulation on wall, roof and ...
