• The state of zero energy building was explored and evaluated. Factors impeding the commercialization were elaborated. Comparison between traditional buildings is captured. Enhancing efficiency structures has been a staple policies. key goal to slash electricity usage in order minimize footprint houses. This sought by putting restrictions on design specifications with respect properties raw ma...

Building Information Modeling (BIM), as an auxiliary design platform, is increasingly adopted in construction projects. However, it not widely applied the collaborative of zero energy buildings (ZEBs), due to cross-discipline and complex features ZEB projects lack research on procedure method this field. This paper introduces a BIM-based for ZEBs. From perspective technical requirements ZEBs, s...

In this research, a combination of passive and active methods is used to design a nearly zero energy building in four major climatic regions of Iran, including cold, mild, dry-warm, and wet-warm ones. The annual energy consumption analysis is performed using DesignBuilder® software. The passive strategies include Trombe Wall, blue roof, and thermochromic windows, and the active methods are usin...

This paper analyzes utilization of renewable energy systems and efficient building envelopes in the semi-arid climate. The proposed model evaluates renewable energy systems solutions as well as economic- and energy-efficient construction materials for the net zero-energy buildings (NZEB) in semi-arid climates. The objective of this paper is to optimize total energy cost and environmental impact...

The concept of a zero energy building is significant sustainable strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. challenges (ZEB) achievement in Thailand are that the design approach reach ZEB office buildings unclear and inconsistent. In addition, its implementation requires relatively high investment cost. This study proposes guideline for cost-optimal achieve three representative six-story hot ...

This study summarizes the technology level and economic feasibility of two small 500 m2 public office buildings that achieved a first-class Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) certification for first time in Korea. In addition, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reflecting ZEB performance operation stage was analyzed, LCA factors considering characteristics were reviewed. Moreover, an analysis performed throu...
