Hybrid solar photovoltaic thermal systems in Nearly-Zero Energy Buildings: the case of a residential building in Greece

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2022
The continuous increase in energy demand has led to the gradual depletion of fossil fuels and the corresponding environmental degradation. As a result, the implementation of energy efficiency measures, as well as the integration of Renewable Energy ...

Solar facade module for nearly zero energy building

Energy, 2018
Abstract Buildings consume 40% of the total primary energy use worldwide and it could increase if no energy efficiency measures are taken. Diffusion of nearly zero energy buildings is among building energy efficiency measures in many countries. Synergy of energy reduction in buildings and efficiency increase in district heating and cooling networks ...

Developing a two-criteria framework to rank thermal insulation materials in nearly zero energy buildings using multi-objective optimization approach

, 2020
One important opportunity to reduce energy waste and global warming is renovation, retrofit, and refurbishment of existing buildings. Adding a multi-layer internal insulation is an efficient way to upgrade an existing housing into a nearly zero-energy ...

Standard of nearly zero energy buildings in Germany

Mauerwerk, 2017
AbstractThe European Union intends to reduce the energy consumption in the building sector. The European Directive 2010/31/EU requires the definition of national standards for nearly zero energy buildings. This article presents a research study supported as part of the research initiative “Zukunft Bau” of the Federal Ministry for the Environment ...

Smart micro grids for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 2016
The paper presents a feasible model of architecture for the technical building systems (TBS) particularly suitable for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). NZEBs are buildings where the energetic consumption are optimized by means of solutions that drastically reduce both electric and thermal demand, while residual required energy has to be provided ...

Active House: Smart Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

2018
The book provides an overview of the Active House (AH) vision, intended as a building design method “beyond” the passive approach for buildings of the future that will be more and more connected, smart and innovative. It offers a novel philosophical design approach in which buildings, new or renovated, are in balance with natural, renewable energies ...
