Advancements in residential net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) could significantly reduce
energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. NZEB design considerations broadly …

The enhancement of energy performance of buildings has become a pillar of energy
policies. The main target is the cut of energy consumption to reduce buildings footprint. This …

The building sector is responsible for 39% of process-related greenhouse gas emissions
globally, making net-or nearly-zero energy buildings pivotal for reaching climate neutrality …

Enhancing the energy efficiency of structures has been a staple of energy policies. The key
goal is to slash electricity usage in order to minimize the footprint of houses. This goal is …

The increasing global energy demand, the foreseen reduction of available fossil fuels and
the increasing evidence off global warming during the last decades have generated a high …

Sustainable energy sources are promising solutions for reducing carbon footprint and
environmental impacts within the building sectors. Reducing energy consumption while …

Building retrofitting towards nearly zero energy building (nZEB) with comfortable visual and
thermal conditions, requires a comprehensive parametric analysis of building retrofit …

The present work constitutes a review of the existing literature on supervisory control for
improving the energy flexibility provided by heat pumps in buildings. A distinction was drawn …

Considering the amount of existing buildings, decarbonizing the building stock requires new
buildings designed to reach the highest performance. The nearly-Zero Energy Buildings …

This work aims to apply parametric design to minimize the embodied greenhouse gas
emissions and operational energy in a zero emission building in Oslo, Norway. An original …
