    Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) produce as much renewable energy as they consume over the course of a year. NZEBs reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. The Indira Paryavaran Bhavan in India is the country's first net zero energy building through the use of solar passive design, energy efficient materials and technologies, and a 930 kW rooftop solar system that offsets the building's energy needs. NZEBs are an important strategy for reducing building energy consumption and transitioning to renewable sources to mitigate climate change.

    NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING (NZEB)

    Presented By: Abdur Rasheed, Abu Huraira & Mohd Khalid Raza
    Net Zero Energy Building
    • amount of energy used is equal to amount of renewable energy created on
    the site
    • reduce carbon emissions & reduce dependence on fossil fuels
    • Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year are called “Energy
    Surplus Buildings”
    • 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 non-
    renewable 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.
    For the discussion of ZEB definitions literature can be divided into a number of main important
    topics

    1. Energy focus

    Total energy demand in the building is a sum of thermal and electricity demand; however,
    many studies focus only on one demand neglecting the other. This issue is raised by Able,
    (1994): “Many low-energy building projects seem to have been based on the idea 'decrease
    heat supply at any cost'. In some cases, this has resulted in 'zero-energy buildings' which, it is
    true, do not need any heat supply but do, instead, indirectly need electricity, e.g., to operate
    the heat pump included in the system.”

    2 . Energy Supply system

    The scientific publications focus either on off-grid ZEBs or on-grid ZEB. The main difference
    between those two approaches is that, the off-grid ZEB does not have any connection to the
    energy infrastructure, thus it does not purchase energy from any external sources, and the
    boundaries for the balance calculations are within the building. The on-grid ZEB, in the
    literature also named “net zero” or “grid connected”, is the energy producing building
    connected to one or more energy infrastructures; electricity grid, district heating and cooling
    system, gas pipe network, biomass and bio fuels distribution networks. Therefore, it is has a
    possibility for both buying and selling energy from/to the utility grid. This division is also well
    noticeable in the ZEB definitions.
    3. Renewable energy options

    • In a ZEB, it is necessary to define the supply-side of the renewable energy sources.


    • There are two options: on-site supply or off-site supply.
    • Within the on-site supply authors distinguish building footprint and building site.
    • Within the off-site supply the building either uses RES available off-site to produce
    energy on-site, or purchase off-site RES.

    ZERO ENERGY STRATEGIES & COMPONENTS
    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
    Energy Conservation Measures:
    • Utilization of High Efficiency Solar Panels to achieve Net Zero criteria
    • Energy efficient T-5 and LED fixtures
    • Innovative chilled beam system for cooling
    • Pre-cooling of fresh air from exhaust using heat recovery wheel in order to
    reduce load on chiller plant
    • Water cooled chillers
    • Double skin air handling units with variable frequency drives
    • Geo thermal heat exchange technology used for heat rejection from Air-
    conditioning system
    • Innovative energy saving regenerative lifts which have been installed for the first
    time in government institutional building
    Conclusion
    •With the advancement in renewable technology, Net Zero Energy Buildings
    are the future.
    •Many governments have framed Zero Energy building laws.
    •Few governments are also providing subsidies to individuals and
    organizations for creating Zero Energy Buildings.
    •The goal of zero energy buildings would not be fulfilled till the time all the
    people don’t understand their responsibility and contribute towards reducing
    energy consumption.
    • Solar and Wind energy will be the major contributor of renewable energy for
    ZEB’s owing to their widespread availability.
    • Biogas can also be used for our energy needs but its only constraint is that it
    needs huge quantity of waste and it is also not feasible everywhere.
    • Geothermal energy is an upcoming form of energy having great potential to
    generate electricity but a lot of research still has to be done to tap into its full
    potential.
