Energy renovation of an existing building in Nicosia Cyprus and investigation of the passive contribution of a BIPV/T double façade system: A case-study

The European regulatory shift towards energy-efficient buildings and nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) leads architects and engineers to the need for investigation of new innovative design methodologies. The reduction of the energy demand for cooling, heating and artificial lighting is now mandato...
