Some of the advantages of the SZEB are eliminating the possibility of the future
energy cost increases for the owner, and improving the energy effi ciency of the
building and therefore reducing the long term cost of ownership and living.
On the other hand some of the disadvantages of SZEB are higher initial cost
and possibility of dependency on the grid on the same time of the peak demand in
the grid.
