Meeting 2030 carbon targets and net-zero emission standards by 2050, as well as significantly reducing energy poverty rates in Europe, requires significant reductions in greenhouse gases and carbon fuels. Dramatically improving energy efficiency partially takes root in optimising Europe's active building stock through zero-energy and nearly zero-energy renovation. But what are zero-energy and nearly zero-energy buildings and what are the costs and challenges involved in implementing such large-scale standards?
