However, a significant amount of the energy used in hotels is wasted, leaving ample room for enhancing energy-efficiency and resource conservation. Indeed, energy refurbishment of the hotel building stock is crucial in order to reach the nearly zero energy building (nZEB) status imposed by EU Directives for energy efficiency, and also an important pillar to achieve the energy targets for 2030 and the transition towards climate-neutral levels by 2050.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>A typical 4-star hotel in operation in Faro (Portugal) was used as a case study in order to establish energy performance indicators for nZEB hotels in three European cities, taking into account the influence of the climatic context, the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness of the best energy retrofit packages. The study started after the calibration of the building energy model by means of an energy audit and measured data, in order to have a baseline model that represents well the actual energy use of the hotel in the reference location. The building energy model was developed by using DesignBuilder\/EnergyPlus software. The validated model was then used to assess the effect of the best retrofit interventions (energy efficiency measures and active solar systems) in order to set minimum energy performance requirements and to reach cost-optimal levels and nZEB levels for refurbished hotels. A significant energy-saving potential was found for the cost-optimal benchmarks, and the obtained nZEB levels can be achieved under technically and economically conditions for the selected cities: Faro, London and Athens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ijlct\/ctaa059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,24]],"date-time":"2020-07-24T19:12:58Z","timestamp":1595617978000},"page":"246-257","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparison of nZEB indicators for hotel renovations under different European climatic conditions"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Filipe O","family":"Cunha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto \u2013 Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), Rua Dr Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Armando C","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto \u2013 Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), Rua Dr Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref1","author":"Artola","year":"2016","journal-title":"Dir Gen Intern Policies Policy Dep A Econ Sci Policy"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref2","author":"Filippidou","year":"2019"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref3","author":"Pezzutto","year":"2018"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref4","author":"EPBD recast","year":"2010"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref5","author":"EPBD revised","year":"2018"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref6","author":"Gra\u00f1a","year":"2019"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref7","author":"BPIE","year":"2015","journal-title":"Buildings Perfomance Institute Europe (BPIE)"},{"key":"2021032611220463700_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jobe.2018.10.019","article-title":"What is a nearly zero energy building?
