Are They Feasible?	2023	22	.pdf	application/pdf	10468	552	49	Our case study of an old RB in Crete, with covered surface at 150 m2 and annual energy consumption at 170 KWh/m2, which has undergone energy renovation indicates that it can become: a) ZEB due to life cycle energy use, b) energy positive building, and c) zero energy cost building if solid biomass will not be used. This requires the use of low carbon buildings construction materials, construction of positive energy residential buildings and/or the use of carbon offsetting mechanisms.	cache/american_scientific_journal-9725.pdf	txt/american_scientific_journal-9725.txt
