Nearly-zero Energy Buildings: Cost-optimal Analysis of Building Envelope Characteristics
Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2017 Abstract Energy consumption in the building sector continues to increase in the entire world and therefore, the determination of cost-optimal solutions towards nearly zero-energy buildings is a serious challenge. The present study is focused on the optimal thermal features of the building envelope, including thermal insulation on wall, roof and ...

Building integration of solar renewable energy systems towards zero or nearly zero energy buildings [PDF]
International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 2013 With buildings accounting for 40% of primary energy requirements in EU and the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), developing effective energy alternatives for buildings is imperative. The increasing role for renewables implies that solar thermal systems (STS) and photovoltaics (PV) will have a main role as they ...
