Methodology for achieving non-residential zero-energy buildings (ZEBs). | Status: Current, Project Underway

1 Scope This document provides a basic step-by-step approach for achieving non-residential (net) zero-energy buildings (ZEBs). It also describes the basic concept of ZEBs and the items for consideration in this approach. The following are within the scope of this document:

• — application to non-residential buildings;
• — annual energy consumption of a ZEB (this includes the operating consumption of the building and excludes the energy consumed by the manufacturing of materials and equipment, and the energy consumed during construction);
• — renewable energy supply (this can be on-site or off-site, depending on the policy and conditions of the country in which the supply is installed);
• — application to any climate zone.
• The following are out of the scope of this document:
• — recommendations or suggestions for the adoption of any specific technologies and/or equipment and materials that are expected to be continuously innovated (however it does stipulate the technologies for selection);
• — specific methods or calculation formulae;
• — commissioning methods.
