This document provides an introduction to net zero energy buildings (ZEBs). It defines ZEBs as buildings that produce as much energy as they consume on an annual basis. There is no single agreed upon definition, as definitions vary based on priorities and metrics used. The document outlines some key concepts and factors that make a building a ZEB, such as site selection, passive solar design, building envelope, and active energy systems. It also provides a brief history of ZEBs and discusses their benefits. Examples of ZEB projects from Europe and the United States are summarized.
1. Net energy yield is an important factor in evaluating energy resources, as it accounts for the energy needed to extract and produce the resource.
2. While fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal are plentiful, they have high environmental impacts, especially coal which is a major contributor to air pollution and carbon emissions.
3. Nuclear power has low carbon emissions but produces long-lived radioactive waste and has high costs, low net energy yield, and safety concerns that have limited its expansion.
This document discusses net zero energy buildings (NZEBs). It defines NZEBs as buildings that generate as much renewable energy as they consume on an annual basis. It classifies NZEBs based on whether they use on-site or off-site renewable energy sources. Examples of zero energy buildings from around the world are provided, along with design strategies to achieve low and net zero energy performance. Advantages include reduced energy costs and carbon emissions, while disadvantages include higher initial costs and limited experience among designers and builders.
Join us as Finegold Alexander presents the study for the Lowell Trial Court, a 250,000 SF state courthouse designated by Gov. Patrick’s Zero Net Energy Building Task Force as one of three public demonstration projects addressing the challenge of designing public buildings to high sustainability standards.
The engineering components of the study involved proposals for energy reduction and on-site production, investigated through a multitude of computer models and cost-to-benefits charts and analysis. Architecture and architects must change. Architectural form is a critical element in achieving any sustainable goals, including zero net energy. This session will look at the Lowell Trial Court design process and the iterative schemes the team produced. We will discuss building massing, orientation, urban context and all the elements we always address in every project. Now we find our attitudes toward these traditional design criteria are influenced by the integration of sustainable design. Design for zero net energy caused this team to think and collaborate differently with consultants, client and user groups.
The document discusses global trends in the use of solar energy. It notes that while the share of renewables in energy consumption is still small, many countries have ambitious plans to rapidly increase solar power. It highlights innovative solar technologies like concentrated solar power and new hybrid PV-thermal solar collectors that can increase efficiency. These technologies open opportunities for solar power generation, desalination, enhanced oil recovery, and other applications. The document concludes renewable energy is key to the global transition to low-carbon energy systems.
Dramatic energy use in the Middle East continues to create problems. This presentation goes through real world solutions that can be cost effectively implemented and contribute to a sustainable world view.

Ken Smith of Ever-Green Energy and Betsy Engelking of Geronimo Energy will share what they learned through Germany's experience with renewable energy.
In recent years, Germany has taken many new steps in its Energiewende campaign to reliably operate on mostly renewable energy by 2050. Having the largest industrial sector in Europe, Germany is simultaneously testing many approaches to reaching this goal while learning valuable lessons, not only for them, but for the rest of the world.
Over the past four years, a small bipartisan group of energy leaders and policymakers from Minnesota have ventured to Berlin and the surrounding area to learn about the transformation underway in Germany and share experiences with German energy and climate leaders, policy makers and innovators. The trip this June was particularly interesting as Minnesota Energy continued to dig deeper into the affect the Energiewende is having on the broader energy system, and more specifically the local change that is occurring in communities across Germany.
Natural capital refers to natural resources like plants, soil, water and organisms. Natural income is the yields from natural capital and can be renewable, non-renewable or replenishable. Renewable natural capital is living and self-producing using photosynthesis. Non-renewable natural capital is depleted as it is used. Replenishable natural capital is non-living but replenished through abiotic processes like the sun. Sustainability means using natural capital at a rate that allows regeneration and minimizes environmental damage. Sustainable development meets current needs without compromising future generations. Sustainable yields exploit natural capital without depleting stocks or replenishment potential.
This document outlines a seminar presentation on energy conservation. It discusses energy conservation at various levels including household, community, industrial, and transportation.

Successful projects require both managerial and technical excellence. Many times, projects fail due to multiple managerial issues. This paper describes key issues leading to project failure.
Engineers and other technical professionals many times find themselves promoted into management. A different set of skills is needed to thrive in this new role. Leadership is one of those skills.
This document summarizes a technical seminar on biomass power. It discusses increasing global population and energy demand, the role of alternative energies, and implications for the future. Key points include that demand for oil is projected to grow 30-50% in the next two decades; biomass has potential as a viable fuel but major infrastructure changes would be needed; and providing stable, affordable energy for a growing population will require utilizing all available energy sources including fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables. The conclusions are that all forms of energy production will be needed to meet demand.
This document discusses project risk management and identifies risks. It outlines the process of identifying risks through team brainstorming and using the work breakdown structure. Key steps include describing specific risks and having the team come to a mutual understanding of potential risk events. The goals of risk management are to anticipate problems, minimize surprises, and increase the likelihood of project success.

4. Power Generation and PM
Today’s Objectives:
• Introduce you to different types of power production (energy)
(Pros and Cons)
• Share the costs associated with each
• Discussion of PM in the energy industry
5. When you flip on the light switch at
home:
• Where does electrical energy come
from?
• How is it made?
• How is it transported to your home?
• Is it safe?
• How much does it cost?
• What kind of fuel is used to create
electricity? Why should I care?
6. Additional Types of Energy not common in SE (yet)
Biomass:
• WTE, Waste-to-Energy (i.e. garbage)
• Human & animal wastes
Other:
• Wind
• Solar (limited at present to demo plants)
• Geothermal
7. Coal used in many power plants around the world
Pro:
Plentiful
Relatively inexpensive
Large reserves in USA
Con:
Hard, dangerous work for miners
Contributes to greenhouse gas/global
warming and air pollution
11. Water: used in power plants near a
high source of water
Pro:
Very inexpensive
Several large hydro-electric
facilities in USA
Clean Energy –no pollution or
greenhouse gasses
Con:
Limited– all the good sites have
already been developed
Some controversy about downstream
ecologic damage (fish, river banks)
15. Uranium: used in nuclear power
plants
Pro:
Moderate cost
Clean Energy—no greenhouse
gasses of any kind
Safe
One plant generates a huge
amount of power
Con:
Nuclear waste from spent fuel stays radioactive
for tens of thousands of years
Where to store the wastes
An accident could have wider, more serious
consequences than other power plants
Spent fuel must not fall into terrorists hands

17. More facts:
Uranium is found in nature as U-238 and has a ½ life
of 4.5-billion years. This decay is a natural process.
It has been around since the planet was formed.
U-235 is used in both nuclear power plants and for
nuclear bombs.
It is also found naturally; but must be processed for
use as a fuel. It gives off alpha radiation.
Splitting the atom releases heat and gives of gamma
and beta radiation. Uranium must be enriched by 3%
for fuel; 90% for bombs.
One pound of U-235 (enriched) is equal to about 1-
million gallons of gasoline in energy content.
