Different weather datasets and a climate change scenario are simulated. Future heating loads decrease by 38%–57%, cooling increase by +99%–380%. Energy efficiency measures to … [continued]
By Mark MacCracken Conceptually, a Zero Energy Building (ZEB) design is simple to understand and dozens of projects have undertaken the challenge of becoming zero energy. Some of them have even “succeeded.” The reason for the partial success is that there hasn’t been a clear, concise broadly accepted term or … [continued]
