Passive design
Passive design is design that takes advantage of the climate to maintain a comfortable
indoor climate in the home. Passive design reduces or eliminates the need for auxiliary
heating or cooling
1
Passive design issues
• Major principles
• Passive heating
• Passive cooling
• Hybrid system
• Day lighting
• Renewable in building
2
Passive design means
No auxiliary equipment are required to make the system to function
Factors
• Orientation
• Fenestration (the arrangement of windows)
• Shading
• Envelop
• Day lighting
• Thermal mass
• Renewable adaptation
3
Six major principles
1. Orientation
2. Glazing
3. Thermal mass
4. Insulation
5. Ventilation
6. Zoning

Passivecooling
1) Reducing cooling load
2) Using passive techniques
3) Improving efficiency of cooling equipment and thermal
distribution systems.
Reducing coolingloads
• Orientation of building
• Clustering buildings to provide self shading
• High-reflectivity building materials
• Increasing insulation
• Glazing on windows with a low solar heat gain
and a high daylight transmission
• Avoiding excessive window area
• Utilizing thermal mass

Zero-energy building
10
• A zero-energy building (nZEB), also known as a zero net energy (ZNE)
building, is a buildings use with zero net energy consumption and zero carbon
emissions annually.
• Zero-energy buildings use energy from
• grid supply
• on-site usually in combination with energy producing technologies such
as solar and wind
• reducing the overall use of energy with efficient HVAC and lighting
technologies
11
Other names
12
 near-zero energy building
 ultra-low energy house
 energy-plus buildings
The benefits of a ZEB usually are as follows:
• Isolation for building owners from future energy price increases
• Reduced requirement for energy austerity
• Reduced total cost of ownership due to improved energy efficiency
• Reduced total net monthly cost of living
• Improved reliability: extra cost is minimized for new construction compared to an afterthought Retrofit
• Higher resale value as potential owners demand more ZEBs than available supply
• Future legislative restrictions, and carbon emission taxes/penalties
Zero-energy dwellings
13
Zero-energy building characteristics
• Advanced HVAC and lighting controls
• Smart metering capabilities, allowing
central access to real-time utility data
• A structured cabling infrastructure with
high bandwidth and connectivity
• Adaptability to changing technology and
tenant needs
14
Zero-energy house
using PV system
15
Some smart solutions to make a zero-energy building
16
1.Decrease the energy requirements for space heating, cooling, and water
heating:
• Orient the home with smaller walls facing west and include overhangs and
porches
• Increase foundation, wall, and ceiling insulation
• Use low U-value, low-E windows in all climates and low solar heat gain (low
SHGC) windows in cooling climates
• Seal all holes, cracks, and penetrations through the floor, walls, and ceiling to
unconditioned spaces
• Install adequate ventilation, especially from kitchens and baths
2. Increase the efficiency of the furnace (or heat pump), and the air-
conditioner:
• Buy as high-efficiency equipment as affordable for the climate
• Design the supply and return duct system appropriately and seal tightly
using approved tapes or mastic
• Where climate-appropriate consider alternative cooling systems such as
ventilation only or evaporative coolers
• Heat pump
17
3. Install a solar hot water preheat system, an efficient backup water heater, and
an efficient distribution system:
• Consider a parallel, small diameter piping system for the hot water outlets
• Install low-flow fixtures
• Choose water heating equipment with a high energy factor
• Evaluate solar systems
18
4. Install efficient lighting fixtures:
• Consider permanent fluorescent fixtures in as many locations as
possible
• Look for the ENERGY STAR compliance
5. Install efficient appliances:
• Include the refrigerator, dishwasher, and laundry appliances
• Look for the ENERGY STAR compliance
• Compare appliance efficiencies
19
6. Install a properly sized photovoltaic system
7. Turn off lights, computers, and appliances when not in use

2. What do you understand by zero-energy building?
3. Give some simple solutions to make a zero-energy building?
4. Give some advantages and disadvantages of a nZEB?
5. How could encourage the homeowners to get a zero-energy house?
6. What are the characteristics of a zero-energy building?
