Presented at the annual convention of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning National Association (www.smacna.org) in Maui, Hawaii, in October 2013. In this presentation, Jerry Yudelson discusses the business case for net zero energy buildings and demonstrates why they are going to be a big part of the green building future.
The vision of Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) is compelling. In theory, the amount of energy consumed by the building for an entire year should be less than or equal to the amount of energy produced by the onsite renewable source.
The main aim of the project is to build maximum number of floors in the building and make it zero net site energy using roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. To check weather effect, project is simulated in three different weather conditions.
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.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to look at how improvements are occurring in zero energy buildings. Improvements in the energy efficiency of appliances, in aerogels for insulation, in solar cells for electricity generation, and in passive solar design are helping us reduce energy usage. The goal is zero energy usage of external electricity and fossil fuels.

Defining the Nearly Zero Energy Building – Best practice brochure for municip...MARIA SFYRAKI &ASSOCIATES
5 May 2015. A newly released guideline detailing best practice in low energy building for municipalities has just been released via the EU-funded project known as PassREg. The brochure details inspiring examples from across Europe and provides compelling measures that municipalities can implement for their building sectors. This small book shows how ‘energy efficiency first’ complemented by renewables makes for an ideal approach, not only for municipal energy action planning and in answer to the EU’s call for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) but also in terms of affordability. All examples detailed are based on the Passive House Standard, an energy standard increasingly being implemented by municipalities worldwide as the basis for achieving extreme energy savings and emissions reductions in the building sector.

Zero energy buildings economical and environmental aspectsMD ASIF AKBARI
A net zero energy building can be defined as a building which generates as much energy through renewable sources as much as it consumes from the Grid. To achieve this purpose, Renewable Energy Sources like Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Biogas Energy and Geo thermal energy have to be harnessed properly so that the energy borrowed from the Grid can be replenished by these sources. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the economic and environmental aspects of energy generated from these resources and to tell us which of the above mentioned non renewable energy resource is the best suited based on the parameters of economic and environmental feasibility.

A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero energy building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site,or in other definitions by renewable energy sources elsewhere.These buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings. They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount.

Our approach is both technology and developer neutral providing an independent industry prospective. Our clients include municipalities, commercial properties and investors interested in point of use and mid market installations. Our projects benefit from fixed priced power and environmentally sound solutions.
Building owners have more questions and requests on how to integrate renewable power into their buildings. And as the Smart Grid evolves, integration of renewable energy sources is increasing. Possible renewable power technologies include solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. As the technologies that support increasing use of renewable energy mature, the codes and standards that define their use, interconnection, and interoperability with the grid must keep pace with them. Engineers involved with integrating renewable power into buildings must be aware of the applicable energy codes and standards and how to properly implement them into the building design. They must also evaluate the design objectives, materials, systems, and construction from all perspectives. It’s critical for designers to assess the design for cost, quality of life, expansion capabilities, efficiencies, impact on environment, creativity, and productivity.

Which Costs Less? A Surprising Comparison of Utility-Scale, Community, and Ro...John Farrell
Electric utilities often misrepresent the cost of solar energy to serve their own profit interests. The truth? Costs are comparable for utility-scale, rooftop, and community solar––and local solar offers benefits aside from clean electricity, from reducing energy burdens for electric customers to providing resilience in the face of natural disaster. State legislatures should create policies to capture the benefits of all sizes and ownership methods of building more solar energy, but should especially work to undo years of utility misdirection by promoting local solar.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
