Georgiev // Матеріали XХV Міжнародної науково-практичної конференції «Екологія. Людина. Суспільство» пам’яті д-ра Дмитра СТЕФАНИШИНА (12 червня 2025 р., м. Київ, Україна). – Київ : КПІ ім. Ігоря Сікорського, 2025. – С. 136-142. – Бібліогр.: 12 назв.2710-3315 (Online)https://ela.kpi.ua/handle/123456789/79410The concept of Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEBs) represents a transformative shift in the design, construction, and operation of buildings, aiming to significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU/2024/1275) [1] requires all new buildings to meet higher levels of performance than before, by exploring more the alternative energy supply systems available locally on a cost-efficiency basis and without prejudicing the occupants ‘comfort. As global concerns about climate change, energy security, and resource depletion intensify, the building sector, which accounts for approximately 30–40% of global energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has come under increasing scrutiny. NZEBs are designed to minimize energy demand through high-efficiency systems and passive design strategies while meeting the remaining energy needs through renewable energy sources produced on-site or nearby. In this context we are going to share the Bulgarian experience and show several examples of such buildings from Bulgaria.enNearly Zero-Energy BuildingsNZEBenergy efficiencysustainable architecturerenewable energybuilding designpassive housesmart buildingsnet-zerogreen constructionбудівлі з майже нульовим споживанням енергії (NZEB)енергоефективністьстала архітектуравідновлювана енергіяпроєктування будівельпасивний дімрозумні будівлінульовий енергетичний балансзелене будівництвоArticleС. 136-142https://doi.org/10.20535/EHS2710-3315.2025.3313330009-0002-3675-9863
