Kick-off meeting of CoNZEBs in Berlin

On 13 and 14 June 2018 the first meeting of the EU Horizon 2020 project CoNZEBs took place at the Fraunhofer-Forum in Berlin.  Fourteen participants from the partner organisation and three members of the German Advisory Board to the project met and discussed the project content and planned outcomes in order divide tasks and define action items. For each of the four countries the national NZEB definition and a practical application at a multi-family house was presented. Ideas for cost-efficient NZEB technologies and the cost reduction in design and planning processes have been gathered and discussed. A case study visit to the LaVidaVerde building (link), a multi-family house in efficiency house plus standard offered the possibility to see a practical application of a high performance building with low investment costs.

The next meeting is planned in Rome at the ENEA headquarters in November 2017.
