A Net Zero Community (NZC) concept and its energy characteristics are presented in this paper. NZC is an emerging topic with multiple variations terms of scope calculated methods, which complicates quantifying performance. This paper covers three key barriers achieving targets: (1) the main focus current definitions on buildings, disregarding community power systems use transportation; (2) diff...

Buildings are responsible for about a quarter of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Consequently, the decarbonisation housing stock is essential in achieving net-zero carbon Global targets can be achieved through increased efficiency using energy generated by intermittent resources. The paper presents co-design framework simultaneous optimal design and operation residential buildings Model Pr...
