Abstract

Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) is a concept that promotes the reduction of energy consumption in buildings by applying energy efficiency measures. The energy supply for the remaining demand should only come from sources with low CO2 emissions. Despite abundant research on NZEB for new buildings, only a small number of studies address its application to those already existing. This study aims to bridge this research gap by organizing the proposed methods to transform existing buildings into NZEB. The research method is a systematic literature review covering the methodological development and the application of the concept. We conducted a bibliometric and Scientometric analysis of 117 articles and a content analysis of 48 of them. The results highlighted that the methods identified follow similar stages: (i) planning, (ii) data collection, (iii) pre-design, (iv) design, and (v) delivery. The sub-stage with the highest frequency (88%) was the presentation of the efficiency measure package, making it an essential step in the transformation process. The review did not find specific topics, such as equipment listing and performance, occupant engagement, and charrette design. Finally, the study established guidelines for future research.

期刊介绍: The journal Energy Efficiency covers wide-ranging aspects of energy efficiency in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors. Coverage includes a number of different topics and disciplines including energy efficiency policies at local, regional, national and international levels; long term impact of energy efficiency; technologies to improve energy efficiency; consumer behavior and the dynamics of consumption; socio-economic impacts of energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency as a virtual utility; transportation issues; building issues; energy management systems and energy services; energy planning and risk assessment; energy efficiency in developing countries and economies in transition; non-energy benefits of energy efficiency and opportunities for policy integration; energy education and training, and emerging technologies. See Aims and Scope for more details.
