Energy system for nearly zero energy family buildings — Experience from operation
Advanced concept of energy system for space heating, hot water preparation in new family buildings has been developed. Energy system consists of innovative heat pump (5.5 kW) extracting the heat from two environments: ground and ambient air. Heat pump is coupled with simple seasonal ground storage of heat built under the house and with photovoltaic ...

A Benchmark for a New Nearly Zero Energy Wooden Building in Europe
To mitigate dangerous climate change, a drastic reduction of CO2 emissions is needed by 2030. Buildings contribute significantly to emissions, with the use phase of existing buildings being responsible for the majority of energy consumption. In addition,

Near zero, zero and plus energy buildings: revised definitions [PDF]
Here a survey of current definitions is the starting point to underline inconsistencies and critical issues, and to identify weak points. From these, distinguishing between energy and primary energy, with all its attributes, and between energy sources ...

Analysis of New Strategies to Reach Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs) [PDF]
The need to reduce CO2 emissions makes it necessary to review most areas of human activity because we are the main source of these emissions. In particular, the building sector is one of its main responsible.

Clustering Nearly Zero Energy Buildings for Improved Performance
Collaborations among nZEBs (e.g., renewable energy sharing) can improve nZEBs’ performance at the community level. To enable such collaborations, the nZEBs need to be properly grouped. Grouping nZEBs with similar energy characteristics merely brings limited benefits due to limited collaboration existed, while grouping nZEBs with diverse energy ...
