Energy Efficiency Engineering

Description

With the "green houses" directive, the European Union intends to reduce GHG emissions by 55% to 2030 compared to 1990 levels and achieve zero emissions by 2050. Reducing emissions of polluting gases and fighting global warming are two objectives of the utmost importance for Europe, pursued through a policy that encourages the ecological transition. One of the most discussed interventions in this sense is the so-called Green Homes Directive or the EPBD Directive which aims to gradually eliminate buildings with inadequate energy performance by promoting the redevelopment of energy-intensive buildings. How can Kosovo respond to this objective at this moment? This article will address the dimensioning of a building to be renovated, respecting the European parameters. The building will be zero consumption, composed of an excellent passive project (thermal insulation of the opaque walls and windows), optimal system design (low temperature generation systems, photovoltaic systems, charging for the electric car) and by an excellent system for monitoring and managing the building's thermal and electrical loads.

The new EPBD directive A case study of a renovation of a country house in Kosovo
