Abstract

This study presents some results of an recent closed European Project, RePublic_ZEB [1], where an extensive analysis was conducted for identifying cost-optimal refurbishment solution an sets of solutions applied to exiting public buildings, towards nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) performance. The analysis was applied to 12 reference buildings identified in 8 countries participants in the project and for different building typologies. A cost-optimal solution sets matrix of the 12 buildings is presented together with the results of nZEB energy performance.
