Zero-Energy Building

The concept of " zero-energy building " dates back to 1976. The term was coined by Esbensen and Korsgaard from the Technical University of Denmark when they studied the solar heating of a residential building in winter (Esbensen and Korsgaard, 1977).Since then, zero-energy buildings have been widely constructed in many developed countries, and several definitions similar to

6 FAQs about [Iraq zero energy buildings]

What is a net zero energy building (NZEB)?

The term Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) are characterized as zero net energy consumption buildings i.e. the total sum of energy used annually by the buildings is approximately equal to the total sum of the renewable energy produced on site. Recently, the idea of NZEBs, has changed from the study to practice.

What is a zero energy building?

Laustsen (2008) gave the general definition for ZEB: zero-energy buildings do not use fossil fuels and rely entirely on solar and other renewable energy sources to meet their energy needs. Noguchi et al. (2008) defined NZEB as the house that consume as much as energy it produces over a certain period of time.

What is net zero energy construction?

Buildings are a major primary energy consumer in the world energy sector, with a value of about 40% of total energy consumption. The absence of traditional sources of energy currently promotes the development of Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). The general definition of net zero energy construction is very critical to grasp.

Is net zero a sustainable building?

Purbantoro and Siregar (2019) focused on the nature of Net Zero's technological and financial viability of NZEB from an existing building. Overall Smart sustainable building is the integration of Net Zero Energy Building, Smart building, Green building and energy efficient building which is shown in Figure (8).

What is a low cost zero energy building (LC-Zeb)?

The LC-ZEB (Low Cost Zero Energy Building) is defined as a structure whose primary energy consumption in service is equal to or less than the energy produced by renewable energy systems plus the energy embedded in materials and systems over the building's lifetime.

What are the design variables for a near zero energy house?

Latief et al. (2019) used experiments and a case study to verify the design variables for an ideal Near Zero Energy House (nZEH) design, including building orientation, PV panels, fenestration, and passive design.
