A Decision-Support Framework for Design of Non-Residential Net-Zero Energy Buildings
Designing Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) is a complex and collaborative team process involving knowledge sharing of experts leading to the common goal of meeting the Net-Zero Energy (NZE) project objectives. The decisions made in the early stages of design drastically affect the final outcome of …

Development, analysis and performance assessment of net zero energy house systems.
Net zero energy buildings have captured the attention of many researchers and governments due to high energy consumption by traditional buildings. The design stage of a net zero energy house is the most crucial and cost effective step to focus on. The orientation of the building, proper insulation, …

Planning for Solar Buildings in Urban Environments
Energy use in buildings accounts for a significant proportion of the total energy use in many countries. While past and current buildings have solely been energy consumers, future buildings will, besides using less energy, also need to produce (part of ) the required energy on site with renewables. …
