Lecture 6 How to Reduce Housing Net Energy Use to Zero

如何让建筑的净能耗变成零

日期: 2020-11-18 点击:

Abstract

In this lecture, I will discuss the various issues surrounding the net-zero energy usage of residential buildings. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem, and each structure is unique with a different purpose. Therefore, an architect/engineer must understand all of the associated parts, including smart home devices, sensors, appliances, energy storage, building materials, HVAC, and weather patterns, to design the most optimal system. Initial cost and payback periods are also important factors for the owners from a financial viability perspective. Renewable energy such as solar and wind energy plays a significant role, but often it must be compensated by traditional energy sources. Education is also essential for the public embracement of these projects. Finally, I will discuss energy audits to determine the energy demand of existing buildings.

在本讲座中,我将讨论围绕住宅建筑物零净能耗的各种问题。对于这个问题,没有一个万能的解决方案,而且每种结构都有不同的用途。因此,建筑师/工程师必须了解所有相关部件,包括智能家居设备,传感器,家电,储能,建筑材料,HVAC和天气模式,才能设计出最佳的系统。从财务可行性的角度来看,初始成本和投资回收期也是所有者的重要因素。太阳能和风能等可再生能源起着重要作用,但通常必须通过传统能源来补偿。对于公众接受这些项目,教育也是必不可少的。最后,我将讨论能源审计以确定现有建筑物的能源需求。
