The transition to high-energy performance buildings, such as Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) and Zero Emission Buildings (ZEBs), is a critical component in the global effort to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. While individual buildings play an essential role in this transformation, communities are equally important in ensuring the success and scalability of these […]

The journey to designing and constructing high-performance buildings, whether Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB) or Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB), requires a diverse array of professionals with specific knowledge, skills, and certifications. To ensure that these buildings meet their energy efficiency and sustainability goals, professionals at every stage of the design, construction, and maintenance processes must be

Achieving a high-energy performance building, whether following the NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building), ZEB (Zero Emission Building), or any other energy-efficient standard, requires a holistic and detailed approach from design through construction and into the operational phase. The key principles that guide the process include the integration of energy-efficient materials, systems, and designs, with careful

Achieving the goals of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) and Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) requires the use of materials and systems that ensure high performance in areas such as thermal insulation, air tightness, energy-efficient windows and doors, and advanced ventilation systems with heat recovery. To guide the selection of these materials and systems, a range
