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.

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

Nearly Zero Energy Building CO2 Emissions [PDF]

, 2020
Nearly zero energy standard is an obligation for all new buildings in the European Union since the beginning of the year 2020. Improved energy efficiency and the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources are expected to reduce significantly CO2 emissions from buildings.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

On the viability of nearly zero energy buildings in the Mediterranean urban contexts

Advances in Building Energy Research, 2014
The aim of this paper is to study, evaluate and demonstrate the technical feasibility of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs) in the Mediterranean urban contexts. To achieve this purpose, the energy performance (EP) of selected typical residential buildings in the urban Athens area have been investigated in detail, in order to properly identify the ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Renovation of Public Buildings towards nZEB: A Case Study of a Nursing Home

Buildings, 2019
Recently, the European Union set new rules for the Energy Performance of Buildings emphasizing the need to facilitate the cost-effective renovation of existing buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB).
