Buildings are one of the major energy consumers globally. The climate change and global warming symptoms increasing Green House Gases emis- sions because growing consumption. Majority electricity pro- duced from fossil fuels, coal, which source GHG emission. Here renewable efficient measure consumption reduction can give opportunity to do save our earth by reducing emission level. integrated so...

For achieving carbon neutrality, new buildings must be built according to very high-performance standards, such that their energy needs can covered predominantly by onsite renewables. Although the technical solutions for efficient envelopes are well established, heat pumps together with PV have proven a reliable HVAC system, discussion is ongoing regarding optimal system concept and design NZEB...

As one part of a broader validation study, this paper examines the many aspects of a validation dataset for daylight simulation and their likely contributions to uncertainty in simulation results. It uses two complementary empirical datasets: one, a simple test cell in Berkeley California and the other, a complex Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) on Isle de La Reunion. The study aims to reveal th...

Lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction, given its advantages, has the potential to reach high standards in energy and environmental performance of buildings, such as nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB). When compared with traditional construction, LSF system offers distinct benefits in such fields as sustainability, cost-effectiveness, constructive process, and safety at work. Despite the ...
