Overview a nearly zero energy building
This article covers the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) definition of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). Improving the building efficiency to reduce the energy consumption achieving the cost-optimal was the major objective in this paper. This paper presents the common insulation material utilization during the operation process, besides the ...

PI Parameter Influence on Underfloor Heating Energy Consumption and Setpoint Tracking in nZEBs
In rooms with underfloor heating (UFH), local on–off controllers most often regulate the air temperature with poor accuracy and energy penalties. It is known that proportional–integral (PI) controllers can regulate most processes more precisely. However,
