Standard Unretrofitted Buildings and Net Zero-Energy Concept
There are many different possible combinations of building envelope, utility equipments and onsite energy generation equipments that can lead to net zero-energy performance. For instance, a building with standard design can offset its energy demand by adding a large amount of photovoltaic cells or by improving its energy efficiency rating first and then adding a smaller amount of photovoltaic c...
متن کاملToward the design of zero energy buildings (ZEB) in Iran: Climatic study
In this research, a combination of passive and active methods is used to design a nearly zero energy building in four major climatic regions of Iran, including cold, mild, dry-warm, and wet-warm ones. The annual energy consumption analysis is performed using DesignBuilder® software. The passive strategies include Trombe Wall, blue roof, and thermochromic windows, and the active methods are usin...
متن کاملControl of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Optimal DER Technology Investment and Energy Management in Zero-Net-Energy Buildings
The U.S. Department of Energy has launched the commercial building initiative (CBI) in pursuit of its research goal of achieving zero-net-energy commercial buildings (ZNEB), i.e. ones that produce as much energy as they use. Its objective is to make these buildings marketable by 2025 such that they minimize their energy use through cutting-edge, energy-efficiency technologies and meet their rem...
متن کاملPhotonic microstructures for energy-generating clear glass and net-zero energy buildings
Transparent energy-harvesting windows are emerging as practical building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), capable of generating electricity while simultaneously reducing heating and cooling demands. By incorporating spectrally-selective diffraction gratings as light deflecting structures of high visible transparency into lamination interlayers and using improved spectrally-selective thin-film c...
متن کاملDesigning a comprehensive energy management strategy in a smart zero energy home
Smart homes with zero energy as an option to combine a large number of distributed energy resources to power networks in building a new future designs, are used. Zero energy homes equipped with smart power integrated production and consumption of zero over a year. In this study is that the sources of energy supply management program for a zero-energy home using mixed integer programming techniq...
