Enhancing sustainability in construction: Analysis of high-efficiency solutions for NZEBs in the Marche Region

Abstract

Renewable energy, green energy, environmental sustainability, and interventions aimed at the construction of low-carbon structures are now major topics of interest for a sustainable, economic and social development of the city. For several years the international scenario has presented guidelines and protocols for the energy-environmental sustainability of buildings, often aimed at awarding a high sustainability label. In Italy one of the most used certification systems is the ITACA Protocol, recently updated by the UNI /PDR 2023, which through a series of criteria identifies global indicators on sustainability, energy efficiency and indoor comfort of the building. In this context, an multi-criteria analysis was developed to identify highly energy-efficient solutions for nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB) in the Marche region.
