Abstract
Zero energy buildings are on the increasing trend. They are perceived as appropriate technology to reducing CO2 emissions, improving energy efficiency and alleviating energy poverty. The main goal is that a grid-connected building produces enough energy on site to equal or exceed its annual energy requirement while using the grid as a buffer. Many municipalities see this concept as a prospective solution for developing future neighborhoods and thereby aim to develop a neighborhood with net zero energy concept. This paper proposes passive designs measures and distributed power generations required in designing such a neighborhood.
