A Sequential Search Technique for Identifying Optimal Building Designs on the Path to Zero Net Energy
A zero net energy (ZNE) building produces as much energy on-site as it uses annually -with a grid-tied, netmetered photovoltaic (PV) system and active solar water heating. On a plot of annual costs (the sum of utility bills and mortgage payments for energy options) versus percent energy savings, the path to ZNE extends from a base case building through a series of energy-saving designs to the Z...
متن کاملAnalysis and Optimization using Renewable Energies to Get Net-Zero Energy Building for Warm Climate
Due to low energy price, economic optimization of consumption has no justification for users in Iran. Nowadays, the issue of ending fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gases and the main role of building in consumption of considerable amount of energy has drawn the focus of global researches to a new concept called net zero energy building. In this study, modeling, simulation and energy anal...
متن کاملNet-Zero Energy Building Enhancement for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum Educational Facility
In the United States, university buildings use 17% of total non-residential building energy per year. According to the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory), the average lifecycle of a building in a university is 42 years with an EUI (energy use intensity) of 23 kWh/m/y. Current building and energy codes limit the EUI to 16 kWh/m/y for new school buildings; this benchmark can vary dependi...
متن کاملRedesign of a Rural Building in a Heritage Site in Italy: Towards the Net Zero Energy Target
In order to achieve the ambitious objective of decarbonising the economy, it is mandatory, especially in Europe and in Italy, to include the retrofitting of existing buildings. In a country where a large share of existing buildings have heritage value, it is important to design effective retrofit solutions also in historical buildings. In this context, the paper describes the experience of re-d...
متن کاملTowards Building Information Modelling for Existing Structures
Capturing and modelling 3D information of the built environment is very challenging. A number of techniques and technologies are now in use such as EDM, GPS, photogrammetric applications, and building surveying applications. However, use of these technologies has not been practical and efficient with regard to time, cost and accuracy. A multi-disciplinary knowledge base, created from studies an...
