What is a nZEB?

Nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs) have very high energy performance. The low amount of energy that these buildings require comes mostly from renewable sources.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010/31/EU of the European Parliament) requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy by the end of 2020. 

Energy demand

Low energy demand in the energy flow related to the operation of the building

Renewable energy share

High share of renewable energy produced from renewable sources on sitenearby and offsite being delivered to the building. 

Primary energy and CO2
 emissions

Low primary energy demand and CO2 emissions related to the total energy delivered into the building from active supply systems.

nZEBs and sustainable cities

 An integrated approach between the buildings’ and local utilities’ policies may facilitate a faster, cheaper implementation of nZEBs

What is a Passivhaus?

Passive House is a building standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable and affordable at the same time

Energy efficient

Passive Houses allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared to average new builds.

Low energy demand

 Passive Houses make efficient use of the sun, internal heat sources and heat recovery, rendering conventional heating systems unnecessary throughout even the coldest of winters.

Comfortable 

Passive Houses are praised for the high level of comfort they offer. Internal surface temperatures vary little from indoor air temperatures, even in the face of extreme outdoor temperatures. 

Superior air quality

A ventilation system imperceptibly supplies constant fresh air, making for superior air quality without unpleasant draughts.

Efficient use of the Sun

Passive Houses make efficient use of the sun, internal heat sources and heat recovery, rendering conventional heating systems unnecessary throughout even the coldest of winters. During warmer months, Passive Houses make use of passive cooling techniques such as strategic shading to keep comfortably cool.
