NEARLY ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS DEFINITIONS ACROSS EUROPE This factsheet summarises the current status (as of April 2015) of different approaches and indicators used by Member States (and Norway) for the nZEB definition of new and existing buildings. It highlights the link between the establishment of a definition and its gradual implementation and promotion on the market. The factsheet is to a large extent based on the findings of the EU-funded project EPISCOPE. FACTSHEET nZEB definitions THE CONTEXT Ambitious requirements for energy performance in buildings are an effective way to foster innovation and achieve a significant reduction of GHG emissions and energy use, contributing to the energy independence of the EU. In order to further stimulate an increased number of energy efficient buildings, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD, 2010/31/EC)1 introduced the definition of nZEB as a building with very high energy performance where the nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be extensively covered by renewable sources produced on-site or nearby. The EPBD foresees that after 31 December 2020, all new buildings will be nZEBs, while for public buildings the deadline is set for 31 December 20182. Article 9 of the EPBD requires Member States (MS) not only to set a national nZEB definition, but also to actively promote higher market uptake of such buildings. MS shall prepare and submit to the European Commission the national plans with clear...
