This study investigates strategies, technologies, and challenges related to improving energy efficiency in buildings, particularly in the context of climate change and the European Green Deal. It highlights the importance of Energy Efficiency Measures, which include passive, active, and renewable-based systems, in achieving nearly zero-energy targets. The integration of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence into building operations is examined as a transformative approach for real-time energy monitoring and optimization. Simulations and practical applications, such as building-integrated photovoltaics and thermal energy storage, demonstrate quantifiable reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and operational costs. The study also identifies barriers to effective renovation, socio-economic factors influencing residential energy use, and the potential impact of advanced technologies like hydrogen-based storage and intelligent energy management systems. The research provides a broad analysis of the technical and behavioral aspects of transitioning toward energy-efficient buildings, offering valuable insights for policy development and implementation in sustainable urban environments.
