Abstract: This paper offers a thorough analysis of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) in many Chinese areas as well as in nations that are members of the European Union (EU). It delves into the various standards and energy-saving technologies employed in these two distinct regions, highlighting both their techniques' commonalities and contrasts in achieving energy efficiency. By comparing the regulatory frameworks and building practices, the research aims to identify best practices that can be adopted across different contexts. Furthermore, the study predicts and analyzes the potential for achieving NZEB goals in the future, considering factors such as policy developments, technological advancements, and market trends. It emphasizes the importance of local conditions in shaping energy-saving measures, suggesting that tailored strategies are essential for effectively meeting the requirements of net-zero energy consumption. The paper ultimately seeks to provide valuable references for policymakers, architects, and builders in both the EU and China, encouraging a collaborative approach to energy efficiency. By fostering a deeper understanding of the prospects and difficulties in implementing NZEB, the study aims to the global conversation about energy-efficient building techniques and the shift to a more sustainable future.
