Emissions at a crossroad – a crossroad NZE design method

This analysis looks into how to balance energy saving and energy effectivity in order to contribute to the 2030 70% reduction - and 2050 emission neutral targets. Embodied Carbon in insulation is a smaller part of an energy efficient buildings. Use of more insulation and higher energy class design leads to higher energy effectivity in energy systems. The best greenhouse gas emission reductions are reached with Passive House Plus standard and higher.
