The NZEB (Near Zero Energy Building) criteria refers to a standard of building design that aims to reduce the amount of energy required to operate a building to a minimum, typically using a combination of highly efficient building systems and on-site renewable energy generation. The NZEB criteria may vary depending on the country or region, but typically includes requirements for insulation, airtightness, heating and cooling systems, lighting, and the use of renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines. The ultimate goal of NZEB is to create buildings that use as little energy as possible, while still providing a high level of comfort and functionality for the occupants.
