21-23 April 2023, Sofia
For the 8th nZEB event, the aim was to also reach non-specialists, going to a popular shopping destination - one of the biggest malls in Sofia. Given the International Earth Day, it made sense to carry out the event on the weekend so that more people can join in such an initiative raising awareness about EE and nZEBs. All available mock-ups, equipment and sets developed during the project were available for participants to learn and experience first-hand the benefits of sustainable construction practices, materials, and the necessary skills.
There were dedicated lectures for both construction specialists and non-specialists. A total of 250 people attended for the whole period. In July 2023, the event was awarded the second prize of the Annual “b2b media awards” for best educational initiative!

29-30 September, 6-7 October 2022, Forli, Italy
The 4th live Italian Roadshow was organized as a nZEB Week at Poletti headquarters in Forlì, a window manufacturer specialized in low-energy buildings such as nZEB and Passivhaus (Figure 104). The 4-day workshop dealt with nZEB and Passivhaus pillars, window installation and thermal bridges, economic viability of energy efficiency measures and exercises for the promotion of low-energy building standards.
In order to give a better and practical insight of the theoretical concepts which constitute the basis of a nZEB and Passivhaus building, a small scaled sample building was indeed realized. All course participants could then experience the learnt concepts by applying them onto a real wooden house. At the end of the practical measures undertaken on the building, a Blower-Door Test was performed and a thermal imaging camera was used to detect residual leakages through the airtight envelope

July 27, 2022, San Daniele del Friuli (UD), Italy
Back to the nZEB / Passivhaus construction site in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in San Daniele, for the Blower-Door-Test and the measurement of the "airtightness" of the building. This method allows to detect “air leakages” in the building envelope and possibly correct them directly on site. This important step was the perfect setting for the new Italian nZEB Roadshow. Professionals, tenants, residents of the neighborhood were involved: the Italian partners examined details on airtightness, the importance of solving thermal bridges, while mentioning the benefits of a correct installation of the external thermal insulation system aiming at building nZEB's, with a special attention devoted to deep energy retrofitting of the existing building stock.

18-21 May, Bolzano, Italy
With the forthcoming warm season, in 2022 it was decided to host the third live Roadshow event in Italy at a very popular construction fair, the Klimahouse exhibition in Bolzano. Historically, thousands of visitors used to attend the exhibition, mostly designers and stakeholders in the construction sector. However, this was the first time after the pandemics that so many people could gather together again to a big event, so concerns about the attendance in-presence were more than justified: despite the concerns, people still decided to attend the exhibition. Even with reduced visitors’ number, the foreseen expectations were in fact met: 2/3 of the people visiting the ZEPHIR’s stand were active professionals, 20% young students and the rest split between users of training and end users.
