This literature review addresses the Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA) of residential
buildings. As the fluctuation in the choice of functional units, boundaries of the system, life …

Abstract Towards the EPBD recast 2010/31/EU and the nearly zero energy building (nZEB),
this review addresses the whole life cycle energy analysis of residential buildings. Life Cycle …

The basic concept of a Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) is that on-site renewable energy
generation covers the annual energy load. The main objective of this study is to analyse the …

With the world's uncertain energy outlook, buildings should be designed and constructed to
use lesser fossil fuel-based energy and have lower environmental impacts. In the past …

Approximately half of the annual global energy supply is consumed in constructing,
operating, and maintaining buildings. Because most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, it …

Buildings consume a vast amount of energy during the life cycle stages of construction, use
and demolition. Total life cycle energy use in a building consists of two components …

Reducing heat demand of buildings, due to legal and technological advances in the EU,
shifts the ratio of operational vs. embodied energy towards an increasing share of the latter …

There are various definitions of 'zero energy'and 'net-zero'energy building. In most cases,
the definitions refer only to the energy that is used in the operation of the building, ignoring …

As the operational energy use in new constructions is moving towards nearly zero energy
buildings, the embodied energy of buildings is gaining more importance. This work …

The life cycle energy of a residential building consists of the embodied energy involved in
the building materials and construction, and the operational energy of the building. Previous …
