NEED4B will develop an open and easily replicable methodology for designing, constructing, and operating very low energy new buildings, aiming to a large market uptake. NEED4B methodology will be validated and refined by a strong demonstration programme, envisaging the construction of 27.000 m2, spread among five demo sites covering different climatic zones, buildings types and uses, what ensures replicability of the project results and guarantees their impact in the construction sector

All buildings in NEED4B have a common target of achieving a primary energy consumption lower than 60 kWh/m2 year. NEED4B will deliver a methodology for designing, constructing and operating energy efficient buildings achieving this same target and beyond.
