    A zero-energy building consumes zero net energy and emits zero carbon emissions over time. It often requires less energy than standard buildings and generates its own energy on-site. A 12-step design approach was proposed involving passive design, active design, and renewable energy system design optimized simultaneously. India's first net-zero building, the Indira Paryavaran Bhawan in New Delhi, uses passive strategies like orientation, daylighting, ventilation, and materials to reduce energy demands and generates on-site energy with a 930 kW solar PV system.

    ZERO Energy

    INTRODUCTION

    Definition:
    A zero-energy building (ZEB), also known as a net zero-energy building, is any
    building that consumes zero net energy and emits zero carbon emissions over
    time. Zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) often require less energy than standard
    buildings and generate their own energy on-site for use in the building.

    Design steps

    A design approach was proposed which involves 12 steps containing four


    foundational procedures, that is:
     applied metrics (e.g., primary energy, the cost)
     passive design (e.g., building envelope, orientation), active design
    (e.g., HVAC, lighting)
     renewable energy system design (e.g., photovoltaic panel, wind
    turbine)

     To acquire a full-integrated design option for ZEB, the three


    important design processes, namely steps 7, 8, and 9, should
    theoretically be optimized simultaneously. As a result, ZEB design
    optimization is often achieved by merging two or more software
    programs.

    Indira Paryavaran Bhawan


    Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF)
    - Location: New Delhi, India
    - Project Area: 9,565 m2
    - Constructed in 2014

    India’s first net-zero building, the structure design


    is mix of active and passive strategies that help
    reducing energy demands. The building
    conserves and optimizes the use of water by
    techniques like recycling wastewater. With the use of a cooling tower, a geothermal
    heat exchange system with 180 vertical bores to a depth of 80m built along the building
    produces 160TR of heat rejection.

    - Passive Design Strategies:

     Orientation: Building is north-south oriented, with separate blocks connected through


    corridors and a huge central courtyard. Orientation minimizes solar heat gain.

     Landscaping: More than 50% area outside the building is covered with plants. Circulation
    roads and pathways are soft paved to enable ground water recharge.

     Daylighting: 75% of building floor space is using day light, thus reducing dependence on
    artificial sources for lighting. In addition, Inner courtyard uses daylight well.

     Ventilation: Central courtyard helps in air movement as natural ventilation.

    - Materials and construction techniques:

     AAC blocks with fly ash


     Fly ash based plaster & mortar
     Local stone flooring
     Bamboo jute composite doors, frames and flooring
     Triple glazed glass, high VLT, low SHGC & Low U-value, optimized by appropriate
    shading.

    - Renewable Energy:

     Solar PV System of 930 kW capacity


     Total Area: 6,000 m2
     Total Area of panels: 4,650 m2
     No of panels: 2,844
