    About this ebook

    This book examines the prevailing conditions in the analysis of zero-pure energy buildings (ZEBs) with advanced technologies selected. These studies have indicated that the paths to achieving zero energy are numerous and varied, but they must be carefully customized for the type of building desired and its performance. The key to achieving the zero energy goals is to benefit from the knowledge, technologies, and resources available in energy and civil engineering. With the right combination of effective parameters in the design and evaluation of buildings, pollutants can be reduced in addition to energy consumption.

      Table of Contents

      1. Chapter 1 - Introduction

      1.1  Introduction.

      Today, security, reliability, and availability of energy resources are essential for the sustainability and economic development of societies. Climate changes, insecurity of energy carriers (often non-renewable) as well as the growth of energy consumption have created many challenges in the field of energy and environment. Therefore, creating the right contexts for energy consumption as well as focusing on how energy is consumed can be considered as an effective way to overcome these challenges. This process is also important in the process of dealing with environmental issues. Rationally increasing energy efficiency is directly related to the reduction of pollution emissions. Also, the use of renewable energy or nuclear energy can be effective factors in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing greenhouse gases on the one hand and reducing renewable energy sources, on the other hand, play a decisive role in determining countries' energy strategy. As we consider, environmental issues and the optimal use of energy resources are closely linked. Therefore, in recent years, ideal concepts such as the ZE concept have been adopted by different countries to reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources, both in terms of cost, environmental pollution and limited resource utilization and multi-resource utilization are not located.

      1.2  The Global Approach to Energy

      Increasing energy demand, limiting fossil energy resources and increasing prices, and the uncertainty and stability of the energy market in recent decades, together with the issue of pollution and global warming, are the basis for a new approach to energy. Two new solutions have been considered in the new perspective: 1) optimization of consumption (demand reduction or control) and energy production 2) use of alternative energy sources, mainly renewable energies with a view to optimizing energy consumption and production. It is very important. Beyond all its denial of conservation of fossil energy sources by reducing the cost of breeding them, it provides and provides an appropriate context for the exploitation of renewable energy sources. In fact, in order to use renewable and renewable energy, energy demand must be reduced as much as possible. European and American countries will make major changes to their energy regimes by 2030, according to a plan. But the key point is that what gives these countries the power to maneuver on the use of various energy sources, in addition to economic and technological issues is their long-term experience in generating and consuming energy. For example, building green towns, using DH systems extensively, energy-efficient buildings, cultural contexts, and community awareness, etc. give these governments the power to maneuver over energy resources. For example, the energy plan for
