Cost-efficient Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 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 also even higher energy performance levels throughout all EU countries.
