What is Zero Energy Homes?

STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL ZERO ENERGY HOME

Zero Energy Home – An Example

Zero Energy Homes

Survey Analysis: Major Concern of the public- Cost- Easy Temperature Control- Quality

CS 8803 - Happy Healthy Home - Ambient Intelligence and Innovation

•Adopt easy ways to convert your home into a ZEH, taking into consideration people's opinion•Make use of renewable energy wherever possible•Make use of right sized equipments to save energy and improve performance•Reduce or offset your carbon footprint

Conclusion

Zero net energy homes are homes which are often equipped with solar power and are designed to generate more energy than they consume. Photovoltaics are placed on the roof of this house and they capture

energy from the sun to help offset consumption. This modest home produces as much energy as it consumes in a year, leading to a net zero energy consumption.

Pros and Cons of ZEHs

ADVANTAGES:1. Improved comfort 2. Reliability3. Energy security 4. Environmental sustainability

DISADVANTAGES:1. High initial Cost2. Climate specific design may restrict the ability of responding to rising or falling ambient temperatures.3. Solar energy Capture using the house envelope only works in locations unobstructed by the South.4. Very few skilled Architects.

Steps to a successful Zero Energy Home

What really matters to the people•Which energy improvements make sense for my situation?•What is the real payback of each improvement?•Does renewable energy make financial sense given the other improvements possible?•What is the best heating and cooling system for my situation and preferences?•What is the ‘right size’ for my system? •Will all the rooms be the same temperature?•What are my options for healthy indoor air quality?
