Since zero-energy home plans are so airtight, a continuous source of fresh filtered air and moisture control are critical to its success. This need for ventilation has a silver lining: zero-energy homes are healthier and more comfortable than standard homes. Highly energy efficient ventilation systems, known as heat recovery ventilation HRV systems or energy recovery ventilation ERV systems expel stale air while recovering its heat and returning that same heat to the home with fresh air.
Highly-efficient, cost-effective, heating and cooling systems are essential to meeting the net zero energy goal. One good choice is an air source ductless heat pump, also called a mini-split heat pump. These are excellent choices for energy efficient home design. Minimizing energy use for lighting, while optimizing light for residents, is an important feature of zero energy homes.
LED lights are the perfect match for these tasks. They are more energy efficient than CFLs, last many years longer, and contain no mercury. In addition, they can meet a variety of lighting needs from very bright white light to soft, warm light.
Grid-tied solar photovoltaic PV panels currently provide the most cost-effective form of renewable energy for a zero-energy home plans. They can power all the energy needs of a home including lighting, heating and cooling systems, appliances and hot water. For the past five years, DOE and the national labs have been developing a next-generation simulation engine that bridges the worlds of BEM and controls.
Several of those who were there at the beginning look back at those early days and remark on the changes they've seen in the last two decades. A team led by the University of Colorado-Boulder has developed a combined cooling and airflow simulation and optimization toolkit that has already enabled significant energy savings in two data centers.
