The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive suggests that the term ‘nearly zero-energy building’ means:

‘…a building that has a very high energy performance, as determined in accordance with Annex I. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.

The directive requires that member states ensure that:
*by 31 December 2020, all new buildings are nearly zero- energy buildings; and
*after 31 December 2018, new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities are nearly zero-energy buildings.

Annex I of the directive suggests that energy performance should reflect the heating energy needs and cooling energy needs, and domestic hot water needs.

<li>Thermal capacity.</li>
<li>Insulation.</li>
<li>Passive heating.</li>
