3What is a Net Zero Building?
4Why Net Zero is Important?
- Buildings are the Largest Energy Consumer in the
U.S. - 40 of primary energy, 72 of electricity, 55 of
natural gas
5Commercial Sector Trends
- Energy use increasing 1.6 per year faster that
energy efficiency improvements

18- Pearl River Tower(A Near Net Zero Building)in
Guangzhou, ChinaThe building is designed with
energy conservation in mind, including wind
turbines and solar collectors, photovoltaic
cells, raised floors ventilation, and radiant
heating and cooling ceilings. It will be arguably
one of the most environmentally friendly
buildings in the world. - Pearl River Towers accomplishments, many are
related to the sustainable design features
including - The largest radiant-cooled office building in the
world - Most energy efficient super-tall building in the
world - The tower is an example of Chinas goal to reduce
the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per
unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent as
compared to the level of 2005.
19- Conclusions
- Net Zero energy buildings are more a concept than
a hard target in most of the Asian countries
except Japan. - Net Zero energy buildings are usually used to
demonstrate low carbon technologies. - The major market for Net Zero energy buildings
will be in Europe. - Market adoption for Net Zero buildings worldwide
will be gradual. - Net Zero energy buildings will be composed to
multiple technologies bound together by building
automation - China will be posed to dominate the manufacturing
market for Net Zero subsystems, such as solar
photovoltaic.
