Life-Cycle Assessments of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBS) and Beyond in Comparison with Regular New Buildings
Life-cycle costs (LCC) and life cycle environmental impact analyses (LCA) of several alternative technical solution setsidentifiedto reach NZEB and beyond NZEB levels for new multifamily buildings in four European countries (Denmark, Germany, Slovenia and Italy) have been carried outas partof the work of a current EU Horizon 2020 project “Cost reduction of new Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings –CoNZEBs(NZEBs)” (www.conzebs.eu). Some ofthe results obtained are quite remarkable as they indicate that a balance point between energy saving measures and renewable energy (solar) supply has been crossed. In other words, the LCC and LCA results show that both for economic and environmental reasons it pays off to reduce insulation levels and introduce PV-systems and/or solar heating systems for near zero energy buildings. This paper present themainpicture of the results achieved. ; Life-cycle costs (LCC) and life cycle environmental impact analyses (LCA) of several alternative technical solution setsidentifiedto reach NZEB and beyond NZEB levels for new multifamily buildings in four European countries (Denmark, Germany, Slovenia and Italy) have been carried outas partof the work of a current EU Horizon 2020 project “Cost reduction of new Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings –CoNZEBs(NZEBs)” (www.conzebs.eu).
