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 ...

Toward cost-effective nearly zero energy buildings: The Dutch Situation [PDF]
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
