THE NEW NZEB HOMES SET BY EUROPE AND A CASE STUDY FOR KOSOVO
Session
Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment
Description
With the new EPBD directive, the European Union has announced the way forward for the construction of new buildings and the renovation of old ones. Kosovo, although not part of the European Union, does not want to fail in the sensitive issues of energy efficiency. In this article, a ZEB model building will be presented, consisting of an excellent passive system (well-insulated walls and windows) combined with a heat pump hybrid, with radiant floor heating, integrated with a photovoltaic system and batteries. This case not only presents a zero-consumption building, but also represents a massive renovation intervention, in fact the building in question was an old ruin redeveloped from scratch. The real case created starts from a project carried out in Italy, in the beautiful area of Val D'Orcia, Tuscany, which is transposed and simulated for the climatic conditions of Pristina, thanks to the dynamic hourly energy simulation of the buildings (FEM, TRNSYS and BIM).
This building also integrated two charging stations for the electric vehicle, one low and one high power for charging the electric cars. The energy class of the building is not only maximum A4 or A++ or A0, but the building will be a real case of Zero Energy Building, starting from an obsolete and historic building.

THE NEW NZEB HOMES SET BY EUROPE AND A CASE STUDY FOR KOSOVO

With the new EPBD directive, the European Union has announced the way forward for the construction of new buildings and the renovation of old ones. Kosovo, although not part of the European Union, does not want to fail in the sensitive issues of energy efficiency. In this article, a ZEB model building will be presented, consisting of an excellent passive system (well-insulated walls and windows) combined with a heat pump hybrid, with radiant floor heating, integrated with a photovoltaic system and batteries. This case not only presents a zero-consumption building, but also represents a massive renovation intervention, in fact the building in question was an old ruin redeveloped from scratch. The real case created starts from a project carried out in Italy, in the beautiful area of Val D'Orcia, Tuscany, which is transposed and simulated for the climatic conditions of Pristina, thanks to the dynamic hourly energy simulation of the buildings (FEM, TRNSYS and BIM).
