Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!
Zero/Plus-Energy Buildings
(nearly) Zero/Plus-Energy Buildings
| Title of Document | (nearly) Zero/Plus-Energy Buildings |
| Abstract | The (nearly) Zero-Energy Building (nZEB) and the Plus-Energy Building (PEB) concepts are based on the Low-Energy Building or preferably the Ultra-Low-Energy Building concept described in the Strategic Approach. This building standard requires on-site energy generation from renewable energy sources or the use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems in addition to an already high energy-efficient building. As on-site generation is normally more expensive the best possible measure is to minimize energy consumption. If the amount of on-site produced energy (converted in primary energy equivalent) is roughly equal to the annual primary energy consumption, the building can be described as a (nearly) Zero-Energy Building. If energy production exceeds the consumption, the term Plus-Energy Building will be used. |
