Achieving near Zero Energy Building in Albania: An Approach for the Retrofit of a Public-School Building

Since its introduction in 2010, the nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) concept has known a large diffusion in European countries. Albania, an aspiring candidate country to join the European Union EU, is paving the way towards its introduction by transposing EU directives in the fields of energy effi...
