Cost-optimal analysis and technical comparison between standard and high efficient mono-residential buildings in a warm climate

The recast of EU (European Union) Directive on EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings) requires nZEBs (nearly zero energy buildings) as the building target from 2018 onwards and the establishment of cost-optimal levels of minimum energy performance requirements in buildings.
