NERALY ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS - THE ROAD TO LOW- CARBON CITIES
Buildings consume 40% of primary energy and are responsible for 36% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, reducing energy consumption in buildings can lead to large energy savings, and thus to a reduction in GHG emissions and environmental protection. Nearly zero energy buildings have great potential for a significant reduction in ene...
