Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB)
A net zero energy building (NZEB) is a structure that produces as much renewable energy as it consumes over a year. NZEBs are designed to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their environmental impact.
Here are some characteristics of NZEBs:
Energy efficiency: NZEBs use energy-efficient appliances, lighting, HVAC systems, and insulation.
Renewable energy: NZEBs use renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems.
Energy management: NZEBs use energy management systems to monitor and control energy usage.
Sustainable materials: NZEBs use sustainable materials.
Passive design: NZEBs use passive design strategies to reduce energy demand.
