Potential evaluation and analysis of near-to-net zero energy building in hot and dry climate

In a hot and dry climate like the weather of Iraq, near-to-net zero energy buildings (NNZEBs) can become one of the effective solutions to reduce energy demands in the residential buildings sector. Therefore, the current work aims to cornerstone of the developed solution combined the different scena...
