The role of energy modeling and the integrated design process. Techniques - How energy efficiency measures and renewable energy generation are applied to buildings State policies and regulations regarding Zero Net Energy buildings
#PORUS ANTIA PLUS#
This session will explore the various definitions of ZNE, policies and regulations that influence ZNE building design, the role of energy modeling plus examples of constructed and proven ZNE buildings.īasic introduction to the Zero Net Energy concept and various definitions Yet, policies are being established today that will profoundly alter the way we design and construct buildings in the state so that all new buildings will be ZNE by 2030. However, this emerging concept and is not widely known and there are few structures that have been measured and verified. California is nearly ideal for ZNE and is leading the nation in this approach. In some cases, they are being built at little or no incremental cost over comparable conventional quality buildings. They are being constructed in most climate zones of the United States using readily available strategies and technologies. Zero Net Energy (ZNE) buildings produce as much energy as they consume over the course of a year using clean on-site renewable energy sources. Learning Units: 1.5 LUs (60 minute presentation plus Q&A)

The 2014 AIA|LA ProDev Series: Zero Net Energy Buildings Even better, at the time of completion, campus energy use was 50 to 60 percent lower than required-the annual electricity savings are enough to power 334 homes, and the volume of avoided carbon dioxide emissions is equivalent to taking 4,000 cars off the road.The 2014 AIA|LA ProDev Series: Zero Net Energy Buildings AIA|LA Chapter Office The SMUD allows for adaptation to changing needs well into the future. The ECOC includes a five-story office building, cafeteria, meeting areas, training rooms, a gym, and storage for over 550 utility vehicles. It is home to 750 employees and provides administration, operations, maintenance, and storage space. Together with Turner, our team of engineers designed the award-winning the $123-million, LEED Certified Platinum project. We also designed and built horizontal geo-exchange fields, thermal energy storage tanks, maximized natural daylighting, used light reflective concrete, radiant concrete slabs, LED lighting, solar water heater systems, and chilled beams. In optimizing the performance of the systems, our team minimized the need for large energy pulls from the grid, allowing for less photovoltaic panels throughout the campus. Also, special window shades and louvers project daylight into the workspaces while keeping the sun’s heat out. SMUD’s East Campus Operations Center uses low-wattage lighting that shuts off when people leave a room or when natural light is substantial. We measured how they used every electrical outlet in their old offices and recommended systems and appliances that helped them reduce power use in the new spaces. For SMUD, our design team studied the physical building-and what people actually did inside it. This efficient and inspiring campus is that vision realized.Įnergy-efficient buildings are a balancing act between energy and people. Envisioning a new operations center, SMUD leaders hoped to conserve energy use in their buildings while increasing the energy of their people. For the Sacramento Municipal District (SMUD), that spark was net-zero energy design.
