Zero Energy Building Envelope Components: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
With some recent developments, the zero energy building and near zero energy building has gained a worldwide attention and now it is seen as the future building concept. Since such buildings are now the center of attraction, various advancements in this area are being reported. This paper is a detailed review of the literature on the zero (or near zero) energy building (ZEB) envelope components. The paper provides a detailed overview of the zero energy building envelope components along with the possible developments in the future for the benefit of the building designers and constructors. It strives to provide the state of the art on the various building envelope components such as insulation materials, future insulation materials, walls, roofs, windows, doors and glazing from the prospects of energy efficiency. Photovoltaic integration with the building envelope is also discussed for on-site power generation to meet the operational energy demand so as to achieve the goal of Zero Energy
