zero energy building (ZEB)

A Zero Energy Building (ZEB) is designed to produce as much energy as it consumes over a year. This means its energy needs are met through renewable sources like solar panels or wind turbines, often making it self-sufficient. ZEBs prioritize energy efficiency through advanced insulation, efficient lighting, and smart appliances. As a result, they significantly reduce carbon footprints and energy bills, promoting sustainable living. By balancing the energy they generate with what they use, ZEBs contribute to a cleaner environment and offer a model for future construction.
