Project description

Assessment of the energy performance of zero-carbon housing concepts. In situ monitoring data of the energy demand, energy production and energy-related characteristics are analysed. The influence of various characteristics of ‘zero-energy’ and ‘zero-carbon’ concepts on their overall energy and environmental performance is investigated.
