Net Zero-Energy Buildings have been the object of numerous studies
in recent years as various countries have set this performance
level as a long-term goal of their energy policies. This book
presents a unique study of 30 NZEBs that have been constructed and
have had their performance measured for at least 12 months. The
study is based upon an international collaborative research
initiated by the International Energy Agency - the Solar Heating
and Cooling Programme (SHC). It is the first book to evaluate
building strategies in houses, educational buildings and offices
that have been demonstrated to work in practice. It examines how
the design challenges of climate and building type have been
addressed, and to what extent the various design approaches have
been successful. This book presents convincing evidence that a
careful re-thinking of conventional design norms can achieve a far
greater performance benefit than is normally feasible. It
identifies 'solution sets? that work at the whole building level
and at the individual building design challenge level for each
climate and building type. In doing so, the book provides guidance
as to how to improve the design by learning from these cases.
Unusually for a book of this type it has examples of buildings in
what are conventionally labeled "hot" and "cold" climates. A simple
process is proposed for the reader to commission the analysis of
their own climate to assess not only the conventional measure of
how hot or cold or humid it is, but also to assess its suitability
to support other NZEB technical challenge solutions sets such as
Daylight or Natural Ventilation or comfort based climate
conditioning.
