From Nearly Zero Energy to Carbon-Neutral: Case Study of a Hospitality Building
In recent years, many cities around the world have pledged to upgrade their building stocks to carbon-neutral. However, the literature does not yet provide a shared definition of carbon-neutral building (CNB), and the assessment objectives and ...

Settlement scale analysis approach to reach nearly zero energy communities [PDF]
Looking at the recent developments, the European Union (EU) aims to become a zero carbon community. For the building sector, Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was recast in 2010 introducing the definition of the nearly zero energy building
