Abstract:

This research paper examines the concept of zero energy house in details. A lot of literature was revised to define the zero-energy house and identify its application worldwide. Furthermore, several key trends triggered by zero energy houses were reviewed and mentioned to indicate at the importance of this hot topic of 21st century. Besides, issues and challanges facing this concept were discussed. Technological, economical, instiutional barriers are only few of many barriers discussed in this research paper that have huge impacts on the concept of zero energy houses. Later on, two different studies conducted in distinct locations were examined. The first study used TRNSYS building sofware along with the lumped capacitance building model to investigate the thermal performance of net zero energy house for the sub-zero temperature areas. It aimed at creating the net zero cost-effective energy house for the ares with sub-zero weather conditions. The findings have shown that there is a good tendency for the construction of zero energy houses. The second study aimed to design a zero-energy house in Brisbane, Australia by using the EnergyPlus 8.1 building simulation sofware. Energy performance, potential energy savings and financial feasibility of zero energy house was analyzed. After a thorough investigation, results have shown that designing a zero-energy house in Brisbane sounds like an attractive and possible choice. From the financial aspect, it seems that building a zero-energy house would definetely pay off.

Abstract:

Energy efficient building design aims to use passive design principles such as orientation, insulation, materials and surrounding area layout to minimise the need for active space heating or cooling. Implementation of the principles of energy efficient design in specifically low-cost houses delivered by government can have numerous benefits such as monetary savings, increased comfort and health indoor environments for homeowners and inhabitants. The project described here measured the indoor air quality of six energy efficient houses in two project areas as well as energy activity and potential benefits related to energy efficient house design. It was concluded that a small reduction in CO2 is achieved in an energy efficient house when compared with a conventional house. However, the reduction achieved is dependent on the type of fuel used for space heating. Overall, the energy efficient houses observed in the project were more comfortable and households spent less on space heating requirements than conventional houses. It is recommended that the principles of energy efficient design should be a minimum requirement in low-cost housing delivery.

Abstract:

The relevance of passive energy saving technologies in energy efficient low-rise construction in Russia is indicated. The definition of a passive house and its feature is given. Indicated that an attractive source of energy for heating the house is the energy of the sun. The definition of a solar house is given. The requirements for a solar passive house during its design are described: compact form of the house, optimal orientation of the house to the cardinal points, differentiation of glazing at home, passive use of solar energy, etc. It is noted that the most common system of passive heating of a house is to heat insulated glazed volume between nature and internal space of the house (vegetarian). The definition of a vegetarian is given, its design, features and advantages are described. Considered and analyzed various ways of heating solar houses from a vegetarian: a semi-direct, indirect, thermosiphon system with heating and circulation of warm air around the house. The classification of solar houses is discussed depending on the architectural solution for the placement of the vegetarian: a detached house with a vegetarian; a house with a vegetarian adjoining its main living space; a house located with a vegetarian under a common roof; a house with a vegetarian built into its living volume, a house with a “double shell”. The following types of vegetarians are listed: attached to an existing house, built into the house or being a “second shell” for the house. Practical recommendations for optimal work of a vegetarian are given: the need for special glazing (thermal mirror), protection from sunlight in the summer. The conclusion is made about the prospects of solar houses with a vegetarian due to the clear advantages of the passive heating system of the house and a high architectural and aesthetic level.

Abstract:

An exemplary construction project developed in a commune close to Constanta, Romania, aims to build wooden houses for families with low income. The study focuses on their energy performance, aiming to determine simple technical solutions for the improvement of energy efficiency. The original house is a duplex ground floor building. The energy assessment was performed in accordance with the Romanian methodology for the original house, for the reference one and for a variant of the original house whose ground floor is insulated. The study showed that appropriate insulation of the ground floor which covers 30% of the thermal envelope area results in a heating energy saving of 17%. Furthermore, the original horizontal duplex was compared to its similar vertical version (ground floor and one storey) which is more compact, at the same heated volume and the same heated area. The reference vertical version saves 3% of heating energy.

Abstract:

The number of passive houses and zero-energy buildings being developed is increasing, as measures to reduce the rapidly increasing building energy consumption. While government building policies focus on energy savings, investors and the building market emphasize the initial investment cost. These conflicting perspectives obstruct the development of passive houses in the building market. In this study, a series of building energy analyses, including the effect of energy saving measures and economic information considering long-term economic benefit and incentives policy, will be presented. Analyses were performed on the energy-saving measures needed to improve the performance of single-family houses in Korea to that of the passive house standard, as well as the energy saving effect and increased cost. The application of energy saving measures for passive house implementation resulted in an additional cost of 1.85%–4.20% compared to the conventional reference house. In addition, the proposed passive house alternative shows a short payback period and life cycle cost (LCC) result, compared to a conventional building’s life cycle period. The possibility of passive house implementation is high, and developing the passive house is affordable for the investor or end user in Korea.

Abstract:

Passive House buildings with an annual energy demand of less than 15 kWh/m2a (i.e. kWh/m2 per annum) can help Canada and other countries achieve thermal comfort with minimum energy use and carbon footprint through meticulous design and selection of highly efficient building envelope elements and appliances. Shipping container based passive houses can reduce the cost of passive house construction and also promote recycling. In this paper, a passive house built using shipping containers, originally designed for Victoria, BC, Canada, is analyzed using Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) software in different climactic zones of Canada. The locations under consideration are: Halifax (Cool–Temperate), Toronto (Cold–Temperate), Edmonton (Cold), and Yellowknife (Arctic–Climate). This paper critically examines the energy demand changes in various climate zones and make necessary modifications to the design to achieve passive house energy performance requirements in selected climates. Results show that with modified designs shipping container passive houses can meet passive house requirements, except in the Arctic–Climate of Yellowknife.

In the article the author considers one of the most important factors of life support – the creation of an energy-efficient and healthy microclimate country house through the use of complex engineering systems including the use of “passive” energy sources. Based on the results of the foreign and Russian market analysis of energy-efficient houses, the reasons for the low construction pace of such houses in Russia are estimated. A constructive engineering solution is proposed that can increase the efficiency using the modern heating, conditioning and humidification systems, thereby making them economically feasible and affordable for mass use.

Abstract:

Currently, such topics as improvement of energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems, development of sustainable building concepts, and promotion of renewable energy sources are in the focus of attention. The energy efficiency targets of the European Union are based on information regarding energy consumed by buildings. The amount of energy consumed by buildings depends on the main influencing factors (namely, climate parameters, building envelope, energy systems, building operation and maintenance, activities and behaviour of occupants), which have to be considered in order to identify energy efficiency potentials and opportunities. The article aims to investigate the total amount of energy consumed by a low energy house, built in Lithuania, using a combination of energy consumption data received from a simulation and measured energy consumption data. The energy performance analysis in the low energy house revealed some factors that have the main influence on the total figures of energy consumed by the house. The identified significant factors were used to find the optimal solutions for the design of low energy buildings.

Abstract:

A large number of nontraditional rural houses were built in 1980s in Zhejiang province. These houses often fail to meet the modern needs of local villagers. In this paper, one such house was reconstructed, using some green-construction technologies and the lowest cost, and the least construction criteria, in order to obtain the best appearance and the best energy-saving effect. Furthermore, the rural house was evaluated using simulations to examine performance on energy consumption, ventilation, and natural lighting. The annual energy consumption of the reconstructed house is 66.6 KWh/m2 and the energy-saving rate is 56.23%. Wind velocity of the main activity area ranges from 0.3 to 1 m/s, and the illumination values are above 55 lx, which all meet the requirements of the Chinese Green Building Standards.

Abstract:

The goal of this paper is to assess two ultra-low-energy family houses from thermo-physical aspects and environmental perspectives. Thermo – physical evaluation, done in two-dimensional PC software Area, has shown results that consent with the newest standards for designing critical details in two ultra-low-energy family houses. Both cases show correctness in design in regards to thermo-physical properties. Both critical spots – corners are well insulated with surface temperatures over 17°C, which indicates low risk of mold occurring. Most of the embodied energy is in roof construction with value of 3084 MJ in house A and 1943 MJ in house B. In terms of indicator of global warming potential, most emissions were calculated in bearing walls of house B (593 kgCO2eq/m2). From the acidification potential, the most emissions were determined in the roof construction B (1.02283 kgSO2eq/m2). It can be stated that financial expenses on groundwork and preparing polystyrene casing for a reinforced concrete slab is significantly higher (family house A) than for foundation insulated from the exterior side with extruded polystyrene (family house B).

Abstract:

The main goal of the article is the efficiency justification of energy-efficient house (EEH) from the different points of view: economic, ecological and social. In this case, the EEH under the green economy context was considered by the authors. In addition, according to the Ukrainian ongoing condition, the key preconditions of EEH implementation among the Ukrainian households were allocated. Besides, the main approaches to define EEH are analyzed and systematized by the authors. On this basis, the main bullet points and features of EEH were indicated. The authors determined the EEH opportunities for spreading among the Ukrainian households. It should be noted, that the lack of awareness among the civil society provokes the slow temp of the EEH enlarging in Ukraine. At the same time, the European experience showed that the huge part of their households can be characterized as energy-effective. With the purpose of understand the efficiency of EEH, the authors had estimated the economic benefits of installed solar collector in the household as one of the parts of EEH. According to the results, the authors allocate the restraining factors of the EEH spreading in Ukraine. Thus, the great payback period is one of them. In addition, the high level of the currency rate has negative impact on the payback period. From the other side the continuously increasing of the utility bills have been indicated as a negative stimulate factor. In order to increase the awareness of the EEH benefits under the Ukrainian civil society, the main economic, ecological and social benefits of EEH were systematized by the authors.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION A small but notable trend that may offset energy consumption is emerging in a grassroots architectural counterculture movement focused on designing and building tiny houses. These small dwellings, ranging between 120 square feet and 400 square feet, simultaneously aim to consolidate, simplify, and minimize the energy requirements of the average size house while relieving their occupants of the burdens that come with owning a typical house. Tiny houses are entering the mainstream, showing up in unexpected places and catering to people from diverse backgrounds. Full-scale design/build prototype tiny houses developed at Norwich University serve as case-studies that may help prove, disprove and bring into question the effectiveness of the tiny house. This article will examine the second prototype house designed and built by Norwich University and will dive into some of the dynamic forces behind the tiny house movement and question how that movement might evolve and adapt to accommodate future scenarios.

Abstract:

In recent years, ‘passive house’ is an increasingly well-known word, and has gained rapid popularity and application in Europe and other developed countries. Currently, residential passive house is growing at 8% annually in Europe. With its low energy consumption and ultra-high comfort, it is acclaimed as the most promising energy-saving substitute of conventional residences of this century. The passive houses in Hamburg Germany use 75% less energy than the normal low-energy buildings, more than 90% less than conventional German buildings [1]. As reported by the National Conference of Green Building Materials and German Passive House Technology held from 22nd to 25th April 2014, passive house will certainly become the mainstream building in the country in the next three to five years.

Abstract:

The subject of this paper is an effective connection of the solar wall into an energy concept of an apartment building with a hot air ventilation. It describes mental approaches and construction solution of the solar wall, which minimizes disadvantages of the existing energy of similar structures by its new ideological concept. The facade of the house becomes an energy contribution for the object. A part of this article is an effort to evaluate the proposed solution in a low-energy three-storey apartment building with six residential units. From the graphs it can be determined the energy balance of the building with the solar wall for a particular day of the year. The construction is applicable for both new buildings and renovations.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate house owners’ experience and satisfaction with the first Danish detached low-energy single-family houses, built according to energy class 2015 before these supplementary requirements became standard for all new dwellings. A questionnaire survey was carried out among owners of newly built energy class 2015 houses. The paper presents the house owners answers to questions on their overall satisfaction, their heat consumption, and their satisfaction with the indoor environment (temperature, draught, air quality, noise and daylight). There is a focus on issues related to having a mechanical ventilation system, i.e. satisfaction with the air quality, does the air feel dry in winter, and does the ventilation system make noise and how the airing behaviour is in winter. As many as 370 out of 869 house owners, corresponding to a response rate of 43%, answered the questionnaire. There was an overall satisfaction with the new low-energy houses. More than 90% of the house owners perceived the indoor environment as satisfactory. The energy consumption was as low as expected by 59%, while only 7% answered that it was higher than expected. Compared with previous similar studies, problems with technical installations have decreased. However, there is a need for continued focus on the commissioning of new and not necessarily thoroughly tested, high-performance installations and new designs. Based on the survey a series of recommendations are given that might help to achieve both a low energy consumption and satisfied occupants of new low-energy dwellings.

Abstract:

The single core Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) used in this study is equipped with defrost control that recirculates the exhaust indoor air, while keeps the outdoor air intake damper closed. This defrost strategy has the disadvantage of reducing the outdoor air supplied to the house, which may affect the indoor air quality. First, this paper presents new correlation-based models of supply air temperature T2 after the energy recovery core during normal and defrost operation modes based on laboratory experimental data. A pre-heating coil heats the supply air from T2 to indoor air temperature. Second, a house in Montreal (4356 HDD) is simulated as a reference using TRNSYS program. Since the program cannot simulate the operation under defrost mode, the new models are connected in TRNSYS using equation boxes. The energy use of houses at three locations in northern Canada with HDD of 8798 (Inuvik), 8888 (Kuujjuaq) and 12208 (Resolute), are also simulated, without and with ERV unit. The seasonal energy used for heating the house and pre-heating the supply air is compared with results from Montreal. Compared to the case without heat recovery, the ERV unit leads to energy savings: 24% (Montreal), 26% (Inuvik), 27% (Kuujjuaq), and 27% (Resolute). Compared to the minimum standard requirements, the outdoor airflow rate due to defrost is reduced by 4.7% (223 hours) in Montreal, 19% (1043 hours) in Inuvik, 13% (701 hours) in Kuujjuaq, and 24% (1379 hours) in Resolute.

Abstract:

The United Nations has designated the year 2012 as the international year of sustainable energy. Today, we are seeing a rise in global awareness of energy consumption and environmental problems. Many nations have launched different programs to reduce the energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings to seek lower-carbon energy solutions. We are talking about the future green and smart houses. The subject of smart/green houses is not one of “why,” but rather “how,” specifically: “how making the future house more energy efficient.” The use of the renewable energy, the technology and the services could help us to answer this question. Intelligent home energy management is an approach to build centralized systems that deliver application functionality as services to end-consumer applications. The objective of this work is to develop a smart and robust controller for house energy consumption with maximizing the use of solar energy and reducing the impact on the power grid while satisfying the energy demand of house appliances. We proposed a fuzzy-based energy management controller in order to reduce the consumed energy of the building while respecting a fixed comfort.

Abstract:

Aapartment houses account for more than 60% of the total of residential buildings to be built in South Korea. In particular, a high-rise apartment house with 21 floors or more has steadily increased in densely populated areas. The heating and cooling energy demand of the apartment house is greatly affected by the shape and the thermal insulation of its building envelope. In addition to its functional efficiency, the shape of building envelope in a high-rise apartment house is considered to be an important factor for the urban landscape with diverse construction methods and materials. In this study, we analyzed the heating and cooling energy demand depending on the effective heat capacity of building structure and the installation position of thermal insulation materials as the design conditions of high-rise apartment houses. This study used the ECO2 energy analysis program for the building energy efficiency grading certification system in South Korea.

Abstract:

Energy and climate policies benefit from modernized construction technology and energy supply source choices. Energy-efficiency improvement and CO2 emission reduction will result from renewable energy (RE) utilization in new and retrofit single-family houses in rural Poland. Several house construction scenarios and heating energy sources comparing building costs and potential emission reduction are based on already existing structures calculated for a 100 m2 dwelling corresponding to the average rural home. With the addition of thermal insulation and RE-generating equipment, construction costs increase, but the energy costs of operating the home dramatically shrink between a conventional and energy-neutral house. The latter scenario includes thermal solar panels and a heat pump as heating energy sources as well as electricity-generating PV panels. Replacing coal with environmentally-friendly RE reduces CO2 emissions by about 90% annually. Additionally, lower dependence on coal lessens other GHG emissions leading to immediate air quality improvement. New house building regulations guide homeowner construction and heating energy choice, but even larger gains could result from retrofitting existing rural houses, expanding environmental benefits and generating energy bill savings to households. However, the varying climate throughout Poland will require the purchase of energy in winter to assure residents’ comfort.

Abstract:

Almost all single-family detached houses in Canada consume enormous electrical energy for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) purposes. There are many possibilities to design an energy-efficient house. A solar water heating system can be used for domestic water and space heating. Water temperature can be kept constant always by connecting a heat pump or oil burner to the main tank because solar energy is intermittent. The sizing of solar photovoltaic and collector, tank, heat pump are essential to design an effective system based on the system energy consumption. The existing house is just a conventional house where space and water heating are provided by the grid electricity only. In this research, two possible ways of thermal energy storage systems have been designed for a residential single-family house with solar collector and solar photovoltaic. It is proved that the proposed PV based energy storage system is highly suitable considering lower cost, high output power, flexibility, and easy installation.

Abstract:

Rural dwellings have a big difference in the appearance and envelope. Living form is changing a lot from detached house to the apartment in multi-story apartments. These changes affect building’s energy consumption consisting of heating and cooling. This paper focuses on the impact of the energy consumption affected by different surface volume ratios, simulation analysis showed a general argument of the difference. And for the same house type, this paper also compares the energy-saving effect of different envelop performances, Specific contents are the heat transfer coefficient and shading ways. Simulation results identified that SVR has influence on different types of houses, the energy consumption of row houses can be saved more than 30% compared with detached houses. Envelope performance also affects energy consumption and the national standard is recommended for the energy saving and the comfort.
