The objective of this project worth 220.000 € was to strengthen capacities for energy efficiency in the building sector in the Republic of Croatia and to assist in developing the basis for increasing the number of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB).
The project is of great importance for the Republic of Croatia because both partners closely cooperated in developing the necessary recommendations for an update of the nZEB Plan and drafting a roadmap for its implementation, specifying the exact timeline and institutions involved as well as including an assessment of its feasibility. BMWi assisted the MCPP in establishing a respective profound groundwork of data sets, analyses and simulation approaches. Additionally, a priority of the project was the strengthening of the institutional and administrative capacities related to nZEB.
