  2. Contents • Project Idea • Procedure Used - Survey • Analysis of the Responses / Feedback • Conclusions

  3. Project IdeaMainly revolves around people’s idea of an Eco friendly Homes • Eco-Friendly: having little or no impact on the Native Eco System. • The most extreme eco-friendly houses of the future reduce the environmental impact on the planet and demonstrates how ‘Less means more Quality Living’

  4. What is Zero Energy Home?

  5. What is Zero Energy Home? A ZEH combines state-of-the-art, energy efficient construction techniques and equipment with renewable energy systems to return as much energy as it takes on an annual basis. Goal: • Reduce carbon footprint • Increase energy efficiency

  6. SURVEY WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO THE PEOPLE?

  7. WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO THE PEOPLE? RESPONSES -Which energy improvements make sense for my situation? -What is the real payback of each improvement? - Does renewable energy make financial sense given the other improvements I plan to make? - What is the best heating and cooling system for my situation and preferences? - What is the ‘right size’ for my system so it will be most efficient? - Will the rooms all be the same comfortable temperature? - What are my options for healthy indoor air quality?

  8. Analysis • People have a clear understanding of Zero net energy homes. • Zero Energy Homes are homes which are often equipped with solar power and are designed to generate more energy than they consume.

  9. Conclusion – Major Parameters Using Renewable Energy: approach your project from a true whole building perspective and provide a comprehensive strategy for the building envelope, heating, cooling, hot water, appliances, lighting, ventilation, energy production, and more. Right Sized Equipment Reduces Costs and Increases Performance: Improper HVAC sizing and layout can lead to humidity and mold problems, system inefficiency, and short cycling with mechanical failure and shorter system lifespan. We right-size and design the systems to avoid these problems, ensure the best performance, and reduce costs associated with installing a bigger system than is needed. Sustainable Options: alternative choices that can either reduce or eliminate fossil fuel use completely on your site. Potential targets can be to reduce or offset your carbon footprint, create a fossil fuel free site, or incorporate renewable energy systems to partially or completely off-set annual energy consumption (zero net energy).
