Zero Energy Building Concept for different climatesWienold, Jan
3.1 Definition of zero-energy building The concept of “zero-energy building” dates back to 1976. The term was coined by Esbensen and Korsgaard from the Technical University of Denmark when they studied the solar heating of a residential building in winter (Esbensen and Korsgaard, 1977). Since...
Fig. 3.7. A net-zero energy building. Energy use is satisfied over a typical year by energy generation from renewable energy resources. The concept of a net-zero energy building is illustrated in Fig. 3.8. There it is seen that a net-zero energy building generates as much electrical plus ...

Net Zero Energy Buildings Net zero energy buildings, also referred to as ZEBs, are a revolutionary concept in sustainable architecture and construction. The primary goal of a net zero energy building is to produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year, resulting in a net ...
A zero-energy building is most commonly understood to mean a highly energy-efficient building that generates as muchenergyas it uses on an annual basis, usually from on-site solar panels. The most obvious challenge with this housing concept is density. A strict “on-site” definition of zero...
The zero energy building concept has been a progressive evolution from other low-energy building designs. Among these, the Canadian R-2000 and the Germanpassive housestandards have been internationally influential. Collaborative government demonstration projects, such as the superinsulated Saskatchewan House...
