The architecture should be specific to a certain place and a certain culture, not only from the standpoint of formal integration in the existing building stock, but also from the perspective of adapting to the regional climatic conditions. Thus, the importance of a “regional” applied concept in the global context regarding NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) design must be emphasized. This paper presents a methodology for evaluation of a NZEB single-family house, taking into account specific climatic characteristics and use of passive design principles for cost optimization. Based on detailed climate data, the most efficient passive measures for the studied region were analyzed. The single-family housing project was evaluated through a BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology and the result was optimized and compared with National and European standards for NZEB.
