The NEZEH proposal addresses the priority, expressed in the 2012 Call, of accelerating the rate of refurbishment of existing buildings into Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings, supporting the private sector and promoting the front runners. These objectives require an effort to spread the knowledge about the concept of NZEB, and focusing our attention on the hospitality industry could add important advantages: – Hotel guests can experience the comfort of living in NZEB, learning how some architectural and technical solutions can also be replicated at home. – Energy consumption is usually higher in hotels than in residential buildings, so there is a larger margin for energy saving measures. – Because the hotel sector is highly competitive, the competitive advantages gained by some hotels will push others to imitate.
