The Fundamentals Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings have gained prominence under the European Union's directive to significantly reduce energy consumption in buildings by 2020 and beyond. These structures are designed to have…

Passive solar heating leverages the building's location, climate, and materials to minimize energy usage. By strategically placing windows and selecting materials that enhance heat absorption and storage, buildings can naturally…

Geothermal heating systems harness the earth's consistent underground temperature to provide heating and cooling solutions, offering an efficient alternative to conventional methods. In the context of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB),…

Energy storage systems (ESS) serve as critical components in the integration of renewable energy sources into heating and cooling systems (RES-H/C), particularly within the European Union where sustainable energy practices…
