A Zero-Energy Building (ZEB), also known as a Net Zero-Energy (NZE) building, is a building with net zero energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site [1] [2] or in other definitions by renewable energy sources offsite, using technology such as heat pumps, high efficiency windows ...
The zero-heating building is intended for use in heating-dominated areas. The purpose of the zero-heating building is to supersede net-zero energy buildings as a way to bring building-related greenhouse gas emissions to zero in the EU. Zero-heating buildings address flawed net-zero energy buildings: the requirement for seasonal energy storage ...
The Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC; Nepali: वैकल्पिक ऊर्जा प्रवर्द्धन केन्द्र, Vaikalpik Urja Pravardhan Kendra) is an independently functioning government institution established by the Government of Nepal with the objectives to popularize and promote the use of renewable energy technologies, raise the living standards of ...
There are nevertheless a number of definitions of zero carbon housing, particularly concerning the scope of emissions in the housing lifecycle (eg construction vs operation or refurb), and whether it is acceptable to count off-site emissions reduction (eg due to renewable energy export) or other external reductions against any residual emissions from the house to make it a Net Zero Home.
The Green Homes project is a sustainable housing project introduced by UN-Habitat, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), CEN, ENPHO, IHS and SLTDC with support of European Union to promote sustainable housing in Nepal. The project proposes to use green building techniques such as green construction materials, passive ...
The European Union directive has clarified low-energy houses in Europe, and a large portion of the discussions on zero-energy building in North America derives from the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). [22] The Energy Star program is the largest certifier of low-energy homes and consumer products in the U.S.
Low-energy buildings, which include zero-energy buildings, passive houses and green buildings, may use any of a large number of techniques to lower energy use. Part of a series on Sustainable energy
The Zero Carbon House (Birmingham, UK): The Zero Carbon House, also known as the 'Balsall Heath House,' is an innovative example of sustainable retrofitting. Originally a Victorian terraced house, it was transformed into a zero-carbon dwelling through extensive renovation and the integration of energy-efficient technologies.
