Outcome: We will come to know the difference between a normal building and zero energy building.
Description: A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, is a building with zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site. These buildings do not increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. By the building-grid interaction, the Net ZEBs become an active part of the renewable energy infrastructure. Zero net energy (ZNE) has unprecedented potential to transform the way buildings use energy. This ultra-efficiency goal is one that owners can define, design teams can reach for and occupants desire. An increasing number of buildings are meeting this standard, raising confidence that a ZNE goal is realistic given current building technologies and design approaches.
