In order to promote the development of the zero-energy buildings, the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon is held biennially, in which every team is required to design, build and operate an energy-efficient house powered by the sun. This paper is focused on the innovative passive design in the Solar Decathlon 2011 in following five categories: the indoor and outdoor space, the envelop, the ecological system as well as the shading structure. Based on the case studies, it is suggested that the solar house is emphasizing more flexible living space, the multifunctional envelop and the ecological landscape.

This paper reviews the development process of a net-zero-energy modular house, called UrbanEden, which was the UNC-Charlotte entry to the 2013 US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition. It reports the collaboration of students and faculty from various colleges and schools at UNC-Charlotte working towards delivering a net-zero energy house for the competition held in October in Irvine California. The study presents the participation of students involved in various phases of schematic design, design development and construction. It also identifies the composition and organization of students through the two-year progress and how it evolved throughout the process. The paper also reviews the curriculum integration in school of Architecture with Engineering. The lessons learned from the process will be discussed.

Zero Energy Buildings

For a good approach to new challenges recommended by EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) concept for new residential buildings is conceived in order to drastically improving the overall performance of classical buildings, especially in terms of energy use, production and CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions. This paper shows the results of the case study where was investigated energy, economic and environmental performances of hybrid solar and wind system for neutral in terms of climate parameters nZEB. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the capability and feasibility of RES hybrid technology for the energy supply of Romanian nZEB, and also, was to establish new general criteria with the goal to determinate the optimal design solution and providing general principles for green energy production. The main results reveal that Romania has a potential for green energy to implement the new concept nZEB and the global technical optimum of a hybrid system for nZEB is determined by the optimal interaction between the design parameters. The hybrid solar and wind electric systems are functioned in operational stand alone mode, its are supplied 100% by energy from RES and embedded CO2 emissions are decreased by over 50% compared to the classics systems.
