Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) in Latvia [PDF]
The 9th International Conference "Environmental Engineering 2014", 2014 The main question studied during this study was what does it takes conversion of conventional building built according minimum energy efficiency requirement by existing building code to nearly zero energy building (nZEB). The aim of this study is to work out technical requirements to reach nZEB level in Latvia and test them in real building project ...

Cost-efficient Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEBs)
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract The next level of energy performance of new buildings within the European Union will be the Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB). A lot of work has been spent on pilot and demonstration buildings on this and even higher energy performance levels throughout many EU countries. However, most of the high performance buildings realised

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.
