abstract = "Due to very intensive energy rehabilitation and retrofitting process of buildings in the
past decade, EU countries reduced energy spent in buildings from 50% to less than
40% of total energy production. At the same time, at the moment, buildings account
for around 36% of CO2 emission. The recast Directive on the energy performance of
buildings (EPBD 2010) stipulates that by 2020 all new buildings in European Union
shell reach nearly zero- energy levels (nZEB). At the same time, public buildings
should reach this goal till 2018. Introducing the new obligations for public buildings
(from 2019 on) and other buildings (from 2021 on) to become nearly zero-energy
buildings. This Directive does not give very precise definition of nZEB. According to
this directive nZEB is:" building that has a very high energy performance... The nearly
zero or very low amount of energy required should, to a very significant extent, be
covered by energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced onsite
or nearby". Accepting the differences in climate, building heritage, socio-technical
levels of development, Directive does not prescribe the common methodology for
implementation strategy and calculation methods, giving the opportunity to each
country to define its own criteria and model. Serbia, as the candidate country, started
the process of harmonization with EU regulations in the field of energy efficiency by
introducing the Law on rational use of energy (2013) and in the field of buildings by
introducing the Law on planning and construction (2009) and Regulations on energy
performance of buildings and energy certification of buildings (2011) and in the future
time has to prepare its own goals, definition of nZEB and strategies of accomplishing
them. In the paper, principles for Serbian nZEB definition are elaborated taking into
account national specifics:
����� existing building stock whose characteristics are elaborated in National building
topology,
����� climate diversity,
����� economic potential,
����� renewable energy sources",
