What do we mean by net zero energy? Zero operating energy? Zero
energy costs? Zero emissions? There is no one answer: approaches to
net zero building vary widely across the globe and are influenced
by different environmental and cultural contexts. Net Zero Energy
Building: Predicted and Unintended Consequences presents a
comprehensive overview of variations in 'net zero' building
practices. Drawing on examples from countries such as the United
States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, and China, Ming
Hu examines diverse approaches to net zero and reveals their
intended and unintended consequences. Existing approaches often
focus on operating energy: how to make buildings more efficient by
reducing the energy consumed by climate control, lighting, and
appliances. Hu goes beyond this by analyzing overall energy
consumption and environmental impact across the entire life cycle
of a building-ranging from the manufacture of building materials to
transportation, renovation, and demolition. Is net zero building
still achievable once we look at these factors? With clear
implications for future practice, this is key reading for
professionals in building design, architecture, and construction,
as well as students on sustainable and green architecture courses.
