Buildings contribute to a changing climate and warming of the earth in ways that will significantly affect future generations. Zero net energy (ZNE) buildings are a practical and cost-effective way to reduce our energy needs, employ clean solar and wind technologies, protect the environment, and improve our lives. Interest in ZNE buildings, which produce as much energy as they use over the course of a year, has been growing rapidly. In this volume, the author draws from over 40 years of his own experience, and interviews with other industry experts, to lay out the principles for achieving ZNE buildings and the issues surrounding their development. Eley emphasizes the importance of building energy use in achieving a sustainable future; describes how building energy use can be minimized through smart design and energy efficiency technologies; and presents practical information on how to incorporate renewable energy technologies to meet the lowered energy needs. The book identifies the building types and climates where meeting the goal will be a challenge and offers solutions for these special cases. It shows the reader, through examples and explanations, that these solutions are viable and cost-effective. ZNE buildings are practical and cost-effective ways to address climate change without compromising our quality of life. ZNE buildings are an energizing concept and one that is broadly accepted yet, there is little information on what is required to actually meet these goals. This book shows that the goal is feasible and can be practically achieved in most buildings, that our construction industry is up to the challenge, and that we already have the necessary technologies and knowledge. 606 $aEcology 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aBuildings 606 $aDesign 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aBuilding Types and Functions 606 $aDesign 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aBuildings. 615 0$aDesign. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aBuilding Types and Functions. 615 24$aDesign. 676 $a333.7 700 $aEley$b C$g(Charles),$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01874910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254136303321 996 $aDesign Professional's Guide to Zero Net Energy Buildings$94485741 997 $aUNINA
