Abstract

Albania aims to be a member of the European Union in a near future, which implies significant efforts to adopt EU leg-islation. Energy Efficiency is undoubtedly a top priority in the EU and in order to be in the same path with the EU states, the Albanian government has transposed two main laws in this perspective the EPBD 2010 and the EED 2016 into their respective laws. The promotion of nZEB buildings, known for their low consume of energy that is close to zero is mandato-ry in EU and each country has to specify its own national parameters but in Albania, this aspect is still to be determined. Despite that, there are still many undefined aspects in the renovation intervention and the metrics that measure energy efficiency and determine the acquisition of the nZEB label too, that are not clear and approached differently in various interventions made in particular in existing school buildings. There is a conflict in terms of the technological materials used to tackle heat loses and use of nonrenewable resources for heating. There are registered thermal improvements but there are no attention and improvement in the indoor com-fort during the activities within the school classes etc. Therefore, there is an evident conflict between legal targets and non-normative interventions that expect important and undefined energy efficiency goals, that are signal that maybe there is an uncertainty between the will and the strategy to have nZEB school buildings in the future.
