The objective of this bachelor’s thesis was to illustrate that a near-zero energy building (nZEB) could be constructed in hot and humid climate zones like Vietnam, with all standards and requirements fulfilled. The purpose was to achieve a sustainable, ecological, and environmentally friendly building in a dynamic city. A construction guideline could be created for this type of building based on both the results of this case study and the future performance of the building. The thesis studied energy-saving building types, gathered knowledge from multiple sources, and collected experience from designed buildings. Furthermore, a design team was formed of the employees of two companies. The results reveal that it is indeed possible to construct nZEBs in hot and humid climate zones although there are still several difficulties and obstacles.
