Europe alone is responsible for more than 30% of emissions, or about 900 million tons of CO2 per year. Heating and air conditioning are the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions in buildings. Most buildings currently in use were built with poor energy efficiency criteria or, depending on the country and the date of construction, none at all. Therefore, regardless of whether construction regulations are becoming stricter, the real challenge nowadays is the energy rehabilitation of existing buildings. It is currently a priority to reduce (or, ideally, eliminate) the waste of energy in buildings and, at the same time, supply the necessary energy through renewable sources. The first can be achieved by improving the architectural design, construction methods, and materials used, as well as the efficiency of the facilities and systems; the second can be achieved through the integration of renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, etc.) in buildings. In any case, regardless of whether the energy used is renewable or not, the efficiency must always be taken into account. The most profitable and clean energy is that which is not consumed.Energy Efficiency in Buildingsartificial neural networkthermal performancedynamic simulationbuilding renovationzero energy buildingbuildingenergy productivitybuilding sectorthree-phase unbalance minimizationoptimizationseasonal performance factor (SPF)envelope transmittancedemolitionenvelope airtightnessbuilding energy predictionenergyKorean household energy consumptionfloor envelope designbuilding refurbishmentperturbation and observationglazingground and water source heat pump (ASHPsensitivityenergy efficiency promotionmodel predictive controlrenovationhome energy management systemenergy tunnelperformance parameter designaircoefficient of performance (COP)Arab regionbuilding rehabilitationground heat transferresidential buildingsDeutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB)policy designbuilding user activityLeadership in Energy &amplightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA)energy renovationenergy performanceurban modellingMaghrebanalytical hierarchy processsurface coolingthermal insulationLevel(s)subtropical climateenergy efficiencygreen building rating systemsIpomoea batatasbig datalife cycle cost analysisdomestic hot water (DHW)multi-family buildingsgreenhousebuilding energypassive architecturepredictionHaute Qualité Environnementale (HQE)Minimum-Energy Building (MEB)energy modelingMashreqsimulation enginesHVAC demandtest methodadjustable step sizelife cycle costenergy saving ratioEnvironmental Design (LEED)influencing factorsGSHP and WSHP)energy usesubtropical climate buildingsingle-person householdheat loadenergy performance standardtechnology packageenergy-performance gapGCCBuilding Research Establishment Assessment Method (BREEAM)energy pilenearly zero energy buildingco-simulationnew constructionspace heatingbuilding stock energy demandlow power lossmaximum power point trackingenvelope thermographyextensive green roofOPERA-MILPGómez Melgar Sergioauth1325398Andújar José ManuelauthBOOK9910404087903321Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Both New and Rehabilitated3036845UNINA
