Promoting whole, building strategies that employ passive measures with energy efficient systems and technologies using renewable energy, became a European political strategy since the publication of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast in May 2010 by the European Parliament and Council. Designing successful NZEBs however, represents a challenge since the definitions are yet generic assessment method and monitoring approach are under development and the literature is relatively scarce about the best sets of solutions for different typologies and climates likely to deliver an actual and reliable performance in terms of energy balance (consumed vs generated) on a cost-effective basis. Beside this, the lessons learned from already built NZEBs examples are relatively scarce. The authors of this paper, who are participants in the IEA SHC Task 40-ECBCS Annex 52, "Towards Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings", are willing to share insights from on-going research work on some best practice leading NZEBs residential buildings. Although there is no standard approach for designing a Net Zero-Energy Building (there are many different possible combinations of passive and efficient active measures, utility equipment and on-site energy generation technologies able to achieve the net-zero energy performance), a close examination of the chosen strategies and the relative performance indicators of the selected case studies reveal that it is possible to achieve zero-energy performance using well known strategies adjusted accordingly to balance climate driven-demand for space heating/cooling, lighting, ventilation and others energy uses with climate-driven supply from renewable energy resources.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AeleneiAeleneiMusalletal.2013, author = {Aelenei, Daniel and Aelenei, Laura and Musall, Eike and Cubi, Eduard and Ayoub, Joseph and Belleri, Annamaria}, title = {Design Strategies for Non-Residential Zero-Energy Buildings}, series = {Clima 2013.Proceedings of CLIMA 2013 - The 11th REHVA World Congress and the 8th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation and Energy Conservation in Buildings}, booktitle = {Clima 2013.Proceedings of CLIMA 2013 - The 11th REHVA World Congress and the 8th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation and Energy Conservation in Buildings}, publisher = {Society of Environmental Engineering}, address = {Prag}, organization = {Society of Environmental Engineering}, isbn = {978-80-260-4001-9}, pages = {5414 -- 5423}, year = {2013}, language = {en} }
