The article presents chosen technological solutions that affect the energy efficiency of multi-family zero-energy buildings – MFZEB. Based on detailed analyzes of 15 buildings built in a climate zone similar to Polish zone, strategies that have direct application in the integrated design process were selected. Both elements and features that can be considered as trends as well as specific cases of MFZEB were indicated. Authors hope that the described problems will contribute to changes in the design of multi-family housing for the 21st century in Poland.

W artykule przybliżono wybrane rozwiązania architektoniczne mające wpływ na efektywność energetyczną budynków wielorodzinnych blisko zeroenergetycznych – BWBZE. Na podstawie szczegółowych analiz 15 obiektów zrealizowanych w klimacie zbliżonym do polskiego wyłoniono strategie mające bezpośrednie zastosowanie w zintegrowanym procesie projektowym.

Wskazano zarówno elementy i cechy, które można uznać za tendencje, jak i przypadki szczególne zrealizowanych BWBZE. Autorzy mają nadzieję, że opisane zagadnienia staną się przyczynkiem do zmian w projektowaniu zabudowy wielorodzinnej na miarę XXI wieku w Polsce.

Nearly zero-energy multi-family buildings – design trends

The article presents chosen technological solutions that affect the energy efficiency of multi-family zero-energy buildings – MFZEB.
