what is a net zero building?A net zero
building is a building with zero net energy consumption which means it get the
energy it needs from the natural. In this way, it will not influence the
environment because the non-net-zero building usually have large greenhouse gas
emissions which is harmful for our environment.
The net zero
building can work cycle itself without getting any factitious or machine’s help.
It is able to harvest water and self-regulate the temperature inside the
building as well.
Most of the net zero buildings get half or more of their energy from the grid and return the same amount at other times. Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year may be called "energy-plus buildings" and buildings that consume slightly more energy than they produce are called "near-zero energy buildings" or "ultra-low energy houses". Most zero-energy buildings use the electrical grid for energy storage but some are independent of grid. They usually get the energy from wind and solar. |
