Full Description
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs), equipping readers with the knowledge and tools to design, construct, and retrofit buildings that meet the highest standards of energy efficiency and sustainability. It provides a holistic understanding of the principles, technologies, and materials that are shaping the future of the built environment. As the building sector accounts for a significant share of global energy use and emissions, ZEBs represent a potential solution for achieving climate goals and promoting sustainable development. Therefore, the book addresses one of the most important global challenges, which is reduction of energy consumption and carbon footprint
The book starts with the discussion of global energy challenges and the role of the building sector in addressing these challenges. Fundamental and core principles of ZEBs, tracing their evolution and highlighting current trends are discussed by giving the readers insight into site and building design strategies that optimize energy use and environmental performance. The core focus of the book is on cutting-edge technologies and materials, including high-performance insulation, advanced glazing, phase change materials (PCMs), energy storage systems and emerging automation systems. It is discussed how these components contribute to ZEB efficiency and interact with renewable energy technology with the support of intelligent building automation systems. In addition, the book addresses practical approaches in retrofitting existing buildings to meet near-zero energy standards and provides insights into the tools and resources for ZEB development.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, architects, engineers, energy consultants, sustainability experts, urban planners, and policy makers involved in sustainable construction, green building certification, and energy policy development.
