Global energy consumption has led to concerns about potential supply problems, and growing environmental impacts. This paper comprehensively provides a detailed assessment of current studies on the subject building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology in net-zero buildings (NZEBs). The review is validated through various case studies, which highlight significance factors such as surface ar...

The building sector is the largest consumer of energy, but there are still major scientific challenges in this field. façade, being interface between exterior and interior space, plays a key role energy efficiency building. In context, paper focuses on ventilated bioclimatic wall for nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB). aim study to investigate an experimental setup based hot box characterizati...

This study was born in the context of new challenges imposed by the recast of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The aim of this work is to develop strategies to identify and investigate the relationship between decisional variables within a nZEB design concept, providing a useful method to deal with a huge number of simulations corresponding to a large number of building configu...

The growing need for electric energy is forcing the construction industry to greater integrate production systems based on renewable sources. ought be used not only support functions of building but also charge vehicles, whose number has been increasing last few years. However, implementation RES (Renewable Energy Sources) in already existing buildings problematic. Basing an example a historica...

The European Unions' ambition for the construction sector is to be carbon neutral by 2030 new construction. Since 2021, all buildings in EU should have been constructed as nearly zero-energy (nZEB). However, Eastern countries struggle implement 2018 Energy Performance of Building Directive recast requirements. Next economic challenges, equally essential factors hinder renovating existing reside...

Over the past years, advanced renewable technologies such as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has transformed to become more efficient, reliable, less costly and attractive. A migration Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) push for Green (GB) is a major driver adoption of BIPVs, not only in developed countries, but also developing world. Fundamental issues cost, aesthetics, technological lo...

Since its introduction in 2010, the nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) concept has known a large diffusion European countries. Albania, an aspiring candidate country to join Union EU, is paving way towards by transposing EU directives fields of energy efficiency into national legislation. Most building stock includes buildings with low thermal and performance but high refurbishment potential, t...
