A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Rising global energy demands in the residential sector are prompting design and construction of energy-efficient dwellings. Interest in such dwellings is also driven by climate change and higher costs. To account for these challenges, architects and homebuilders are focusing on designing and implementing innovative heating and cooling practices. This chapter outlines a selection of efficient systems, Net-Zero homes which produce on site power as much as they consume, renewable energy sources, landscaping for reduced consumption, and the monitoring of energy performance.
