High Definition Remote Presentation to the
Monash Undergraduate Research Projects Abroad (MURPA) Program, located at Monash University, Australia
Title: Can a Greener Internet Help Us Moderate Climate Change?
La Jolla, CA
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.
Jerry Yudelson: The Business Case for Net Zero Energy BuildingsJerry Yudelson
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.

• Energy generated. The community is allowed to use energy,
• CO2 but with low CO2 emissions.
• Research focus is not on reducing the energy demand
• Investment cost but on balancing the energy demand and generation.
• Minimize the life time carbon dioxide emissions
• Reason: IPCC 2007 report states GHG, in specific CO2, are main causes of the temperature change on earth
• Minimize the investment cost of the energy technologies
• Reason: Real life decisions are made upon investment costs

In ideal decision making between technologies, one technology is independently
evaluated to others.
In the case study, energy technologies became
interconnected, controlled and dependent on the
specifications from each other.
For example: The control strategies for energy technologies
The control of the water buffer temperature
The in/out flow and temperature of thermal circuit.
Not a full energy system spectrum
optimization with independent energy
technologies could be performed.

Therefore the results are only valid for this case study
• For the chosen energy technologies
• In this specific configuration
• With the specific control strategies
Nevertheless the design concept can be used to come to an optimized energy
system.

38. Future work
1. Add the two analyses
• Both of the analyses support the decision making by providing additional
information on the parameters chosen
• Sensitivity Analysis: Identify the most influential decision variables
• Uncertainty analysis: Explore the impact on outcome due to uncertainties in
the input
2. Research on other simulation tools than TRNSYS
• Request a detailed input, use more abstract tool for energy systems
3. Perform a new case study to demonstrate the design concept
• Create a variable occupancy profile
• Include thermal & electrical losses
• Simulate the electrical energy in a load flow model
• Update the research on the prize level of sustainable energy technologies

Editor's Notes
Energy: Indirectly observed quantity with capacity or power to perform workMany forms: Chemical, electrical, mechanical, thermal, etc
Energy is considered as most important physical quantities because it is one of the main conditions for life due to photosynthesis. And also the reason why we evolved and have a highly developed technological society
