This article aims at discussing the issue of relation between an existing historic building and modern technology, which may lead to upgrading the historic building to parameters of a nearly zeroenergy building. It focuses on the possibility to adjust the facility to contemporary forms of using without considerable prejudice to its historic substance and identity, on contrary, with due respect for the old tissue in the context of NZEB parametrisation. The adjustment refers to innovative solutions allowing upgrade of the building by using the most effective technologies based on renewable energy, improved power efficiency of the structure, technical equipment, exterior and interior cladding and meeting requirements connected with minimum global cost in the life cycle assessment of the building.

Building Project

This paper studied the retrofit project of an existing office building in Beijing to meet the requirements of nearly zero energy buildings. The office building is the first retrofit nearly zero energy building project in China. There are technical difficulties under the constraints of the building and resources. In order to study the technical solutions applicable to the project, we analyzed the suitability of different energy-saving technologies based on the resources and characteristics of the project. Then we obtained the key energy-saving factors. This paper also discussed the energy saving effects of different energy efficiency technology solutions, proposing an optimized nearly zero energy technology solution and verifying the energy-saving level of the optimized plan. Compared with normal new constructions complied with national energy efficiency standard, the energy efficiency of this retrofit building increased by 60%.

AbstractThe goal of this paper was to optimize the building envelope and technical equipment in the building through the mitigation of the global cost value, and then to evaluate the influence of the chosen assumptions on the primary energy index. The analyses carried out using global cost method allow for finding the cost optimal solution but only for the some range of primary energy index variability. In order to find the optimal solutions it was proposed to use the multi-criteria optimisation, assuming the following as basic criteria: a global cost value and investment prices increase (economic criteria), a primary energy index (energy-related criterion), an emission of carbon dioxide (environmental criterion). The analysed case study refers to the technical solutions for the residential buildings with the usable energy demand at the level of 40 and 15 kWh/m2/a. The presented method might be applied to different types of buildings: those being designed and those being the subject of the thermo-modernisation. The results demonstrate that the proposed model allows for classification of the alternative technical solutions regarding the designing process and the building’s technical equipment. The carried out analyses indicate the economic possibility to achieve the low energy building standard and show the need to concentrate the activities related to the installation technology and used energy source.

Zero Energy Buildings

In the current century, a suitable strategy is concerned for optimal consumption of energy, due to limited natural resources and fossil fuels for moving towards sustainable development and environmental protection. Given the rising cost of energy, environmental pollution and the end of fossil fuels, zero-energy buildings became a popular option in today's world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the design of zero-energy buildings, in order to reduce energy consumption and increase productivity, including plan form, climatic characteristics, materials, coverage etc. The present study collects the features of zero-energy building in Isfahan, which is based on the Emberger Climate View in the arid climate, by examining the books and related writings, field observations and using a descriptive method, in the form of qualitative studies. The results of the research showed that some actions are needed to save energy and, in general, less consumption of renewable energy by considering the climate and the use of natural conditions.
