Positive Energy Buildings and neighbourhoods are having an important role in the clean energy transition and cities' green energy system transformation. The aim of this paper is to design and evaluate a scenario for the transformation of a single administrative public building located in Plovdiv, Bulgaria into Positive Energy Building. This is achieved through the implementation of set of passive and technological measures, including renewable power, so to decrease building's demand and to fully electrify it and finally to cover buildings total energy demand by renewable mean. This work evaluates the efficiency, impact, investment costs and rate of return of a number of energy conservation measures being designed to be applied. Finally, techno-economic analysis and results are discussed and compared.
