NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING
➢What is Zero Energy Building?
• A zero-energy building is a building with zero net energy
consumption.
• Generates more energy than it consumes.
• Buildings contribute less overall greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere than a similar non zero-energy building.
• Reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels
which is the Zero Net-Energy Consumption Principle.
• During the last 20 years more than 200 reputable projects claiming
net zero
energy balance have been realized all over the world.
• NZEB buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to
the
atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings. They do at times consume
nonrenewable
energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce
energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the
same
amount. Traditional buildings consume 40% of the total fossil fuel
energy in all
over the world and are significant contributors of greenhouse gases.
➢Design and construction :-

* Passive solar building design:
Walls, floors and windows distribute heat during winter and
reject the solar heat during summer.
* Building energy simulation:
Predicts the performance of ZNE building depending on the
energy usage before it is built.
* Energy saving features:
Includes heating and cooling loads, insulation and ventilation
depending on climate zones.
➢Basic construction of a ZERO ENERGY building
:-
➢‘Zero energy building’ versus ‘Green
building’
• Green Building is a building process depending on
the environment and efficient resources available.
• Green Building reduces negative impact on the
environment.
• Zero Energy Building reduces more energy usage and
greenhouse gases emission.
• Zero Energy building may not be considered GREEN
in all areas.
➢Why nzeb ?
• Reduces Energy Consumption
• Reduces Green House Gases (Carbon Emissions) & Global Warming
• Reduces Dependence on Fossil Fuels
• Reduces Ozone Depletion
• Reduces Climate Change
• Protects Our Environment for Future Generations
➢Case Study: The Indira Paryavaran Bhavan. :-

• India’s first net zero energy building.
• solar passive design and energy-efficient building materials.
• earthquake-resistant structure with a total plinth area of 31,488 sq.m.
• More than 50 per cent area outside the building is a soft area with
plantation and Grass.
• The building has a robotic parking system in the basement that can
accommodate 330
Cars.
• Thin-client networking system has been provided instead of
conventional desktop
Computers to minimise energy consumption.
• Design allows for 75% of natural daylight to be utilised to reduce
energy consumption.
• Installed capacity of 930 kw peak power, the building has the largest
rooftop solar
System among multi-storied buildings in India.
• Union environment minister Prakash Javadekar showcased the
building to United
Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon on 13/1/15
• Total energy savings of about 40 per cent through the adoption of
energy efficient
Chilled beam system of air-conditioning
• Air-conditioning is done by convection currents rather than airflow
through air handling
Units, and chilled water is circulated right up to the diffuser points
unlike the
Conventional systems.
• UPVC windows with hermetically sealed double glass. Calcium Silicate
ceiling tiles with
High recyclable content and grass paver blocks on pavements and
roads, renewable
Bamboo jute for door-frame, fly ash bricks
• Reduction in water consumption has been achieved by use of low-
discharge water
fixtures, recycling of waste water through sewage treatment plant, use
of plants with
low water demand in landscaping, use of geothermal cooling for HVAC
system,
rainwater harvesting and use of curing compounds during construction.
➢Architectural design of the building is primarily

based on following concepts :-
• Preservation of maximum possible number of trees standing
over the site
• Solar Passive Architecture with proper orientation and shading
of Fenestrations
• Appropriate building envelope design with envelope insulation
to reduce heat intake
• Use of permanent, durable and local materials such as sand
stone on exterior face, low heat transmission glass and reflective
roofing
• Priority for pedestrians in the front, with vehicular access on the
sides of the building
• Reduction of conventional lighting load by ensuring 75% day-
light use
• Natural ventilation due to stack effect
• The building is designed in such a way that there is free
ventilation across the entire building
