Energy Optimization of Buildings through Sustainable Materials

Worldwide, buildings are accountable for a huge share of electrical energy , materials and water consumption. Buildings and construction causes for 39% of energy related CO2 emissions as per world green building council. Aim of Green building is to reduce emissions and also reduce energy consumption by using energy efficient appliances. green building design features have higher initial costs, but the payback period for the incremental investment is less. eco- friendly buildings can grant indirect cost-effective benefits to both the building owner and society in addition to direct cost savings. In this paper design of green building and analysis has been done with BE opt software by considering different parameters.

Installation Cost

Around 40% of the electrical energy produced worldwide is consumed by the Buildings of Residential as well as Commercial types. Efficient usage and optimization of electrical energy leads to Nearly Zero Energy (NZE) Green Buildings and it helps in Economic growth and Social development in all countries. Apart from providing reduced energy consumption, Building energy optimization also minimizes the total energy costs, maximizes energy savings and consequently contribute less greenhouse gases to the environment. Though the installation cost of NZE Green building is quite high, the investment can be regained within the payback period with savings in the energy consumption. In this paper an Eco-friendly, Energy optimized, NZE Green building is designed by using efficient building simulation program known as BEOpt through HVAC technologies by considering various designing parameters at the designing stage and the distinguishments in the energy consumption, energy saving per year and CO2 emissions between conventional building and the designed prototype of NZE Green building are addressed.

There are six basic control items, land saving, energy saving, water saving, material saving, indoor environment and operation, among which, only material saving are related to structure design. We followed the green building design concept and the control items list in those standards during structure design of one of the residential area in Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, which consist of 15~18-story residential building connected to a large underground garage, as is shown below.
