Net Zero Energy Building: A Case Study of Padra Taluka of Vadodara District

Abstract

Abstract: Global warming and climate change are raising issues during the last couple of decades. With residential and commercial buildings being the largest energy consumers, sources are being depleted at a much faster pace in the recent decades. The main aim of this project is to make the building as a net zero energy building (NZEBs). In which NZEBs design tools and applications are presented that can help designers in the commercial and residential sectors design their buildings to be NZEBs. It is much difficult to understand the overall concept of a NZEBs. As the building has significant impact on the energy use and the environment which effects on the development of the present era. The NZEBs occupants with healthy & comfortable indoor living environment and produces as much energy as it consumes on an annual base. We shall use the solar panels, solar PV system, wind energy, tidal energy, some plants to make building NZEBs & to make the building eco-friendly and energy efficient.
