Course Description:
Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are those which, on an annual basis, use no more energy from the utility grid than is provided by on-site renewable energy sources. These buildings use 50% to 70% less energy than comparable traditional buildings. The remaining energy use comes from renewable sources, like solar panels or wind turbines incorporated into the facility itself. The 3-hour course provides application knowledge of the design and operating principles for energy-efficient buildings and available technologies and systems to achieve NZEBs design. Building design strategies; review of current policy and regulation, energy, environmental and economic assessment of building’s performance; energy efficiency in HVAC, lighting, and appliances; and on-site renewable energy sources are topics covered.
