Net Zero Energy Buildings (Nzeb): Concepts, Frameworks, and Roadmap for Project Analysis and Implementation

Successfully steering readers to embrace a new paradigm in the construction cycle, leading to carbon-neutral pathways, Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB): Concepts, Frameworks, and Roadmap for Project Analysis and Implementation, Second Edition is a staple reference resource for audiences at all levels across civil engineering and interconnected subject areas both in industry and academia.

Fully updated throughout, the volume comprehensively reviews principles to guide planning and design for high-performance buildings, while contributing practical implementation techniques to meet the expected regulatory standards. The in-depth and logically organized discourse is accompanied by explorations of novel materials and advanced technologies with a significant influence in the context of the energy transition, including the latest developments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and the use of digital twins for modeling and monitoring a building's performance; analysis of real-life NZEB types of varying sizes, for a range of uses, and in different locations; lesson-learnt approaches for dealing with inherent challenges; and evidence-based methodologies contributing to integrate and contextualize robust decision processes that ultimately highlight the need for transformative changes at scale globally to fulfil the built environment's pivotal climate crisis mitigation potential.
