Net-Zero Energy Building in 3 Steps

Comply to standard

Comply

The design is minimally set to comply to the local energy code requirements in terms of materials, infiltration, lighting and equipments.
Reduce 50%

Reduce

Analyzing the larger end-use consumption we implement traditional saving strategies to reduce the consumption to at least 50%.
Reach Zero Energy

Zeroed

Implementing cost effective passive/active strategies in order to generate more energy than consumed by the building.
An energy model is built at the schematic design phase and evolved through our 3-steps in order to provide recommendations to design team.

Comply with local standards

The reference simulation for comparison is the minimum required by local regulations on energy efficiency. This includes airtightness, construction materials, equipments, lighting load, and receptacles load.

Reduce energy consumption by 50%

Following the results of the simulation from the reference case, we identify main energy consumers which need to be reduce. Implementing efficient methods to  largest energy end-uses allow any project consumption to reduce at least by 50%.
​Most common strategies are: LED lighting, energy star appliances, efficient material, efficient cooling/heating equipment, and demand-control ventilation.

Make the design Net-Zero

Once we adapted the design to reduce its consumption conventionally we propose various options to increase the efficiency or generate energy. The tools we used accurately measure the consumption and generation of energy which is trustable information for stakeholder. Potential strategies sized and analyzed are: renewable energy generation, natural ventilation, heat recovery ventilation, daylighting controls, ground source heat pump, solar water heater, and wind turbine.

​Additionally, we perform Dynamics Climate Based Daylighting analysis to validate/maximize daylight and reduce glare such that no artificial lighting is needed at daytime.
