Sustainable Building Design
This chapter discusses the information that is of direct practical use for sustainable construction. It lists the key indicators that need to be considered for management to be sustainable. The chapter is divided into three main sections of green building design, low-energy building design and zero-energy/zero-carbon design, and the features and strategies under each design type are described in detail. While green building design offers a less negative impact on the environment than standard buildings, the low-energy and zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) focus on minimising buildings’ energy consumption throughout the building’s life cycle and managing the energy consumption with renewable energy sources, respectively. Various aspects/strategies to achieve low-energy building design, including passive solar design, thermal performance of building envelope, internal load efficiency etc., are discussed. The complexity of zero-energy/zero-carbon design is revealed by systematically assessing the definition under various considerations. Finally, the opportunities to achieve zero-energy design in existing buildings are discussed with the challenges.
