A groundbreaking evolution towards - ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS
- 1. Groundbreaking evolution towards ZEROENERGY BUILDINGS New technologies for building power distribution
- 2. Hi everyone, I’m ElioBurguera (@ecburguera) and I would like to share with you some information about new green building technologies, mainly focusing on the future of Zero Energy Buildings
- 3. Cities are growingfaster and buildings are getting taller
- 4. Construction output worldwide willgrow more than 70%, to $15 trillion by 2025
- 5. U.S. Department ofEnergy buildings account for more than 40 % of total energy usage
- 6. U.S. Department ofEnergy and nearly 70 % of total electricity generated
- 7. In this way,Net Zero Energy Buildings represent a great solution for a sustainable energy future
- 8. National Renewable EnergyLaboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office are residential or commercial buildings with greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains, such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies within Net Zero Energy Buildings
- 9. We address thischallenge … 20302025202020152010 Net Zero grid usage Increasing Renewables
- 10. But also… 20302025202020152010 Net Zerogrid usage Increasing Renewables Increasing efficiency
- 11. • The lackof new technologies for architects and engineers • Increased construction cost for developers and owners It looks simple, but Zero Energy Buildings still have strong barriers to grow, mainly because of:
- 12. There is anunmet need for more competitive technologies to allow every building to become a Net Zero Energy Building… without any over cost for developers and owners To sum up
- 13. Some of themost important cost elements are: • Renewable energy sources • High efficient Lighting • Energy management systems • Intelligent metering • High efficient A/C and other mechanical equipment • Efficient thermal insulations
- 14. All of themrepresent high construction costs, but currently there are large investments in research looking to increase the efficiency and reduce cost on all these fields.
- 15. However, there isone that has gone unnoticed: Building Power Distribution
- 16. Building Power Distributionis an essential element of cost and time delivery in construction
- 17. …for more thana Century cables and pipes have been commonly used to distribute power in buildings,
- 18. …a complex, laborintensive and expensive job but it has been and is
- 19. This is apicture of the brand new expansion of the second biggest airport in the US
- 20. a simpler andgreener alternative ? but, is there
- 21.
- 22. has proven tobe the simplest and most efficient system for power distribution. Busway systems
- 23. …and it requires 70%less time and labor to be installed
- 24. the busway technologies,that are currently in use, were designed more than 50 years ago and were meant to be used in large industries, not in buildings. That’s good news, but…
- 25. Therefore, the marketis still urging for more efficient and competitive technologies specifically designed for buildings
- 26. recently, something has come: ShieldedPaired Phase busway technology
- 27. Let’s take alook at this technology
- 28. US Patent 7,786,382B2 Electbus’ Shielded Paired Phase Busway Technology By shielding the pairs, the electromagnetic fields are canceled T1S1 T2 R2 S2 R1
- 29. Improving transmission efficiency bynearly 25% and reducing cost by over 20%
- 30. and developed withplenty of details specifically tailored for buildings simple, more efficient and very competitive technology a breakthrough in building power distribution
- 31. more than agreat product, it really is… a groundbreaking concept on engineering
- 32. C C C Integrated Power Backbone It’scalled • Simple on engineering • Simple on installation • Simple on maintenance TM Power and control through the same bus
- 33. Proper power distributioncan be the best insurance for users in a building But also safer and more reliable.
- 34. With an amazingmarket based on clean energies on construction Oxford Economics, Fredonia, Navigant Research and other sources US & Canada $14.75 billion Latin American $4.93 billion Other markets $109.97 billion $130 billion by 2018 Integrated Power Backbone global market, will reach TM
- 35. Let’s take alook at the future
- 36. Let’s take alook at the future Power distribution systems have had little improvement since the original patents of Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla… developed at the beginning of the 20th century
- 37. Do you think thiswill remain the same during this century ?
- 38. Of course not. Thecomplex and costly power network will be gradually replaced by a simpler and more efficient system to guarantee a clean energy future
- 39. It will besimple, efficient and reliable Jeremy Rifkin Using Internet technology to transform the power grid of every continent into an ”energy-sharing inter-grid” that acts just like the Internet where millions of buildings are generating small amounts of energy locally, on-site.
