Zero Energy Design
Zero Energy Design refers to the architectural and engineering approach that aims to create buildings that produce enough renewable energy to meet their own energy needs over the course of a year. This is achieved through efficient insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and renewable energy sources like solar panels. The goal is to minimize energy consumption while maximizing energy generation, resulting in a net-zero energy balance. In essence, a zero-energy building uses as much energy as it generates, contributing to sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
