1. 1. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
   Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

   Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Daniel Nay Myo Tun; Abideen Olaide Bakare; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The built environment accounts for 40% of annual carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Among the total emissions, building operations generate approximately 27% annually. Other than this, building materials, infrastructural materials, and construction (embodied carbon) contribute to an additional 13% annually [1]. READ MORE

4. 3. Phase Change Material : Potential for increased fire resistance in concrete

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE

5. 4. Decarbonization of the building sector : A systematic map of the roadmaps, strategies and action plans for Net-zero and Net-positive energy buildings around the world

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ajay Kumar Korpal; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Buildings account for 36% of global final energy consumption and almost 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions (IEA, 2019). Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) are an option to reduce both energy consumption and environmental emissions from the building sector. READ MORE

6. 5. Perspectives of a climate-neutral urban district : Evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions, exergy and energy balances
