TL;DRAbstract

Within European neZEH project, national nZEB definitions were collected. Ten available definitions revealed to be remarkably different by content and ambition level. Not all of them were based on primary energy, and values between 20 and 200 do not allow meaningful comparison. The situation calls for European level guidance and shows the need to harmonize basic principles of energy calculations
