NZB 2021

The project implemented a "Doors Open Days" campaign in 10 EU-Countries. The campaign consisted of specific days during which both public and private actors could visit new and refurbished houses and public buildings. Through the Open Days, visitors got non-commercial hands-on-experience with nearly zero energy buildings. The objective of this campaign was to give hands-on-experience with nearly zero energy buildings to the general public and public authorities and to convince them that the Net Zero Energy Building (NZB) challenge can be met. This was achieved by the transfer of a best practices campaign from Belgium ‘Ecobouwers Opendeur’ to 9 new EU-countries.

The Belgian forerunner campaign model was further developed and adapted to the regional contexts of the partners. A web platform was set up to acquire buildings for the ‘Open Days’, organise subscriptions and give both general and specific information on NZB’s and the EPBD requirements. Five international visits of carefully selected opinion makers to NZB’s were organised between countries. The programmes of the international visits were tailored according to the needs and challenges of the visiting teams.
