Modern Concepts of Energy-Efficient Civil and Residential Buildings. Case Study: Analysis of a Residential Building According to Nzeb Criteria

Abstract

The oil crisis, the measures taken because of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, the ecological actions carried out globally and the technical progress in the fields of electronics, energy, IT and telecommunications have led to the emergence Passive House concepts in the construction sector, of Passive Solar Building (passive construction based on solar energy), of Net Zero-Energy Building NZEB, of Plus Energy Building, of nearly Zero Energy Building nZEB, of Low-Energy Building, of Green House, of Zero Carbon House, of Smart House, of Healthy buildings and other equivalents or derivatives. In this paper, these concepts will be cross-debated and the measures adopted at EU level and the influences exerted on the Romanian legislation on the field of civil and residential constructions will be presented. Based on a case study, a residential construction will be characterized, representative of the current housing stock, in order to assess the degree of compliance with the minimum requirements of a house with low energy consumption, imposed by Romanian legislation in the field.

Residential Energy-Saving Lighting Based on Bioinspired Algorithms

“…In the environment of the oil crisis and global warming caused by emissions of greenhouse gases, Vasiliu A et al took Romania residence as the research object and adopted a cross-dialectical analysis method to analyze passive energy-saving buildings, such as low energy consumption, green house, and net zero-energy buildings. us, they thought that residential building designed according to Nzeb standard can meet the low energy consumption residential minimum requirements [5]. Rijal Hom B et al collected 19,081 pieces of thermal comfort data from 94 households in 69 apartments in Japan, connected indoor comfort temperature with outdoor temperature, quantified changes in the thermal environmental comfort temperature of Japanese residential buildings with seasons, and established a domestic adaptability model of Japanese high-insulation residential buildings.…”
