Response-surface-model-based system sizing for nearly/net zero energy buildings under uncertainty [PDF]
, 2018 Properly treating uncertainty is critical for robust system sizing of nearly/net zero energy buildings (ZEBs). To treat uncertainty, the conventional method conducts Monte Carlo simulations for thousands of possible design options, which inevitably leads

Toward cost-effective nearly zero energy buildings: The Dutch Situation [PDF]
Science and Technology for the Built Environment, 2016 To reduce the high energy demand and pollution of greenhouse gasses of the built environment, the Energy Performance of Building Directive came in 2010 with plans for the European Union member states. Buildings must be, according the plan, nearly zero energy and should reach this goal by implementing cost-effective (passive-) measures for a high energy

Twenty first century standards for thermal comfort : fostering low carbon building design and operation [PDF]
, 2010 Nearly 50% of energy consumed in the developed world is consumed in buildings. Despite regulation intent, many new buildings are energy profligate. Thermal comfort standards are partly responsible for this increase in consumption. In this volume, Roaf et

Towards Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings in Cold Rural Mediterranean Zones: The Case of La Rioja (Spain)
Buildings, 2023 The European Union aims for its existing building stock to be highly energy-efficient and decarbonized by 2050 through long-term renovation strategies so that all residential buildings are nearly zero-energy buildings.
