The coming years will see a sharp increase throughout Europe in the market uptake of highly efficient buildings supplied by renewable energy: by 2020, all new buildings must be "nearly zero energy buildings" (new public buildings already by 2018). According to the European Buildings Directive, a "nearly zero energy building" (NZEB) is a building with a very high energy performance and whose very low amount of required energy is covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources.
The European Nearly Zero Energy Buildings Conference 2016 offers:
· a meeting place for the global sustainable buildings community · information about the latest technology trends and financing solutions · presentations of standards for NZEBs and how they can be met technically and economically · discussions on optimal levels of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources · an outlook on the developments of European and global markets for sustainable buildings, including National Plans for NZEB · inspirational case studies of new buildings/renovations and site visits · a great platform for interaction between experts and business contacts · the Young Researchers Conference - a conference for young researchers on energy efficiency in buildings · a major tradeshow, the "Energiesparmesse", dedicated to energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings with 1,600 exhibitors
