Course Description
This is an archived presentation with Live Q&A led by Hassan Younes
Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are those which, on an annual basis, use no more energy from the utility grid than is provided by on-site renewable energy sources. These buildings use 50% to 70% less energy than comparable traditional buildings. The remaining energy use comes from renewable sources, like solar panels or wind turbines incorporated into the facility itself. The course provides application knowledge of the design and operating principles for energy-efficient buildings and available technologies and systems to achieve NZEBs design. Building design strategies; review of current policy and regulation, energy, environmental and economic assessment of building’s performance; energy efficiency in HVAC, lighting and appliances; and on-site renewable energy sources are topics covered.
Agenda:
- Defining NZEBs
- Why Net Zero
- Background on CO2 and Global Warming
- Targets for Net Zero
- Examples and Case Studies
- Energy Consumption
- Design Standards and Calculations
- NZEB Design
