“…The Directive establishes the need to implement nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) as a building target from 2018. nZEBs are defined as buildings with very high energy performance, where the energy demand should be mainly covered by renewable alternative energy sources. Worldwide, and especially in Europe, there is a strong interest in nZEB [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The European Commission is promoting the use of an energy labeling system for buildings to promote buildings with increased energy efficiency.…”

Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is one of the main challenges facing Europe in the context of climate neutrality policy. In this article, the authors decided to investigate the impact of thermal insulation of building envelopes and the type of ventilation on the energy efficiency of multi-family buildings located in different Polish cities. In accordance with EU directives, economic analyses of the costs incurred during the lifecycle and calculations of CO2 emissions were carried out for the analyzed facilities. It was determined what measures need to be taken under Polish climatic conditions in order to meet the requirements for improving the energy efficiency of multi-family buildings. The multi-criteria analyses presented in this article provide a voice in the discussion of the issues related to the achievement of the energy performance of buildings with almost zero primary energy demand (nZEB). Based on the conclusions of the research conducted, it was possible to develop general recommendations for investors and designers of multi-family residential buildings characterized by energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

“…Integrating semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) onto windowpanes, facades and roofs of buildings as energyconversion devices can supply the on-site energy solar demand and realize net-zero-energy buildings. [1][2][3] Meanwhile, their tunable color, transmittance and shading coefficient increase residents' comfort and reect people's pursuit for a comfortable living environment. [4][5][6][7] Hence, there is burgeoning interest in exploring ST-OSCs of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), which can simultaneously fulll their roles as an efficient energy-generating source and be harmoniously installed onto building surfaces without impairing structural functions and aesthetic values.…”

Given the climate change in recent decades and the ever-increasing energy consumption in the building sector, research is widely focused on the green revolution and ecological transition of buildings. In this regard, artificial intelligence can be a precious tool to simulate and optimize building energy performance, as shown by a plethora of recent studies. Accordingly, this paper provides a review of more than 70 articles from recent years, i.e., mostly from 2018 to 2023, about the applications of machine/deep learning (ML/DL) in forecasting the energy performance of buildings and their simulation/control/optimization. This review was conducted using the SCOPUS database with the keywords “buildings”, “energy”, “machine learning” and “deep learning” and by selecting recent papers addressing the following applications: energy design/retrofit optimization, prediction, control/management of heating/cooling systems and of renewable source systems, and/or fault detection. Notably, this paper discusses the main differences between ML and DL techniques, showing examples of their use in building energy simulation/control/optimization. The main aim is to group the most frequent ML/DL techniques used in the field of building energy performance, highlighting the potentiality and limitations of each one, both fundamental aspects for future studies. The ML approaches considered are decision trees/random forest, naive Bayes, support vector machines, the Kriging method and artificial neural networks. The DL techniques investigated are convolutional and recursive neural networks, long short-term memory and gated recurrent units. Firstly, various ML/DL techniques are explained and divided based on their methodology. Secondly, grouping by the aforementioned applications occurs. It emerges that ML is mostly used in energy efficiency issues while DL in the management of renewable source systems.
