    The document discusses net zero energy buildings connected to the power grid. It defines net zero buildings as those where annual energy consumption equals energy production. Advantages of connecting to the grid include using surplus energy and obtaining energy from the grid when production is low. Design features discussed for net zero energy buildings include renewable energy sources like solar PV and thermal as well as energy efficient systems like ground source heat pumps, radiant heating/cooling, and energy recovery ventilation.

    Definitions

    • Buildings connected to power grid can be termed as “Net


    Zero” if their energy consumption is equal to their energy
    production over a year

    B. Arch. – IV, Sem. - VII Building Material & Construction Technology - VII Faculty of Architecture, SCET
    Net Zero Energy Buildings connected to Grid

    Advantages of connecting
    to grid:

    • Surplus energy if present, is not


    wasted.

    • If generated energy is less than


    demand, the demand is fulfilled by
    the power grid.

    • Buildings that produce a surplus


    of energy over the year are
    called “Energy Surplus
    Buildings”

    NZEB Design Targets

    • Produce as much as we consume

    • Production is usually MUCH more expensive than reducing waste.

    - Hence the energy demanded by building should always be


    reduced to a greater extent before adding production.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of ZEBs

    • Advantages:
    1. Isolation for building owners from future energy price increases.
    2. Increased comfort due to more-uniform interior temperatures.
    3. Reduced total cost of ownership due to improved energy efficiency.
    4. Reduced total net monthly cost of living.

    • Disadvantages:

    1. Initial costs can be higher – effort required to understand, apply, and


    qualify for ZEB subsidies.
    2. Very few designers or builders have the necessary skills or
    experience to build ZEBs.
    3. Challenge to recover higher initial costs on resale of building.
