Phase change materials (PCMs) incorporated into building envelopes store large amount of
latent heat within a narrow temperature range, regulating heat flow between indoor and …

The building energy performance gap (EPG) seriously restricts the improvement of building
energy efficiency. Currently, although many studies on EPG, it is not yet fully understood and …

Abstract The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) simulation tool is the only
authorized software in Australia for the Passivhaus (PH) certification. Despite its key role in …

One of the pillars of the policies undertaken to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 in the
European Union is the decarbonisation of the construction sector. Massive energy …

The rise in energy-efficient building strategies, driven by the intensifying energy crisis, has
encouraged the development of the passive house (PH) approach. However, existing …

New approaches to building design, such as the Passivhaus standard, aim to minimise
energy consumption and improve indoor environmental comfort. In 2014, the first …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to discuss a selection of policy strategies, regional
initiatives and market approaches to uncover the realities of twenty-first-century building …

The present study focuses on analysing the heat consumption of multifamily buildings. The
study evaluates measured district heating consumption data in Budapest, Hungary. The …

To obtain the Passivhaus Certificate or Passivhaus Standard (PHS), requirements regarding
building envelope air tightness must be met: according to the n50 parameter, at a pressure …

The reliance on fossil fuels and the high amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
remain to be the most critical barriers for the European region to achieve its net-zero targets …
