Introduction [to] Nearly zero energy building refurbishment
This chapter starts with an overview on CO2 emissions and climate change addressing key investigations and important related events. The situation of the European Union concerning energy efficiency is described. A short analysis of the nearly zero-energy building (NZEB) concept is presented. A book outline is also presented.

Principles for nearly zero energy building in Belgium
The recast of the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires all new buildings to be “nearly zero energy’ buildings (nZEB) by 2020, including existing buildings undergoing major renovations. Belgium was first to set a definition for a ‘net zero energy house’ (NZEB) in 2009.
