Session

Energy Efficiency Engineering

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. The building will also have an electric vehicle charging system, so the photovoltaic system will be overrated. 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.

THE NEW NZEB HOMES SET BY EUROPE AND A CASE STUDY: A FARMHOUSE WITH ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION

UBT Lipjan, 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. The building will also have an electric vehicle charging system, so the photovoltaic system will be overrated. 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.
