20XX PITCH DECK 4

  A zero-energy building (ZEB) is a residential or commercial
building with greatly reduced energy needs.
 It is a building with net zero energy consumption.
 Zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) usually use less energy than
traditional buildings.
 These buildings produce energy onsite using renewable
technology.
 contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than
similar non-ZNE buildings.

 DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

 Departs significantly from conventional construction.

 Sophisticated 3-D building energy simulation tools are available to model how a
building will perform with a range of design variables
 All the technologies needed to create zero energy buildings are available off-
the-shelf today.
 Zero-energy buildings are built with significant energy-saving
features.
 These features vary depending on climate zones in which the construction
occurs

 ENERGY HARVEST

 ZEBs harvest available energy to meet their electricity and heating or cooling needs.
 By far the most common way to harvest energy is to use roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels that
turn the sun's light into electricity.
 Energy can also be harvested with solar thermal collectors, heat pumps, roof top solar panels.
Technically, heat pumps move heat rather than harvest it.
 An STES can also be used for summer cooling by storing the cold of winter underground.
 Energy harvesting is most often more effective in regards to cost and resource utilization when done on
a local .

 PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN

 This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating
systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.

 Use of thermal mass and phase-change materials, solar chimney and earth

 FUTURE SCOPE

 Based on the results of the current study, it may be most beneficial for future
research for engineers and architects about alternates for construction .
 Further developmental studies should address air quality and noise reduction.
 More detailed environmental audit.
 FUTURE SCOPE

 This construction tendency with application of latest technologies is the need of the
hour nowadays.
 The choice for decreasing energy loss from buildings helps to preserve the resources
of our planet for our future generations.

 FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

 Existing studies have focused mainly on new buildings, more studies are
required for retrofitting solutions.
 The colder and temperate climate of India is still untouched.
 More studies based on the Indian climate required.
 Awareness should be provided toward sustainable approaches at local level.
 Building codes and standards need revision specifically for nZECB.
 Incentives from the government, better central and state level policies
needed.
