Net Zero Energy is a design
concept for buildings that are to use no more energy than they generate on-site
through renewable sources. The concept requires that a building's energy use
must be evaluated and then reduced to the lowest level possible; hence, the term
Net Zero. Natural ventilation is a logical choice to reduce energy loads, but
rarely practical or possible. Consequently, many owners are adopting a hybrid
system to achieve Net Zero, using a mix of mechanical and natural ventilation
called mixed mode ventilation.
In this presentation, Tim Wentz will cover
some potential strategies and technologies, such as mixed mode ventilation, that
can be used to achieve a Net Zero Energy design in buildings. Tim will also
present potential obstacles that design teams can encounter as part of the
process.
