Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Three years of monitoring of an educational nZEB in a Dfb climate. • Monthly data reveal design stage errors hidden by annual energy balances. • HVAC, DHW, lighting, auxiliaries, controls and PV were analysed separately. • Whole-building final energy use was 17-31% lower than predicted (over monitored years). • Yet HVAC energy use was 104-116% higher than predicted.
