Development of the NZEBs concept in Member States: Towards nearly zero energy buildings in Europe. [PDF]
The current energy policy framework foresees a substantial reduction of energy consumption in buildings by 2020. According to the recast of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD), Nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) represent the European ...

Time-averaged single sided ventilation rates and thermal environment in cooling mode for a low energy retrofit envelope [PDF]
Non-invasive, scalable, building retrofit solutions are very attractive deep renovation techniques to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings; this includes natural ventilation for cooling due to the low impact nature of the installation. However,

Multi-Criteria Optimisation of an Experimental Complex of Single-Family Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings
The Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings has introduced the standard of “nearly zero-energy buildings” (NZEBs). European requirements place the obligation to reduce energy consumption on all European Union Member States,
