Publisher's Synopsis

This book presents case studies of five different buildings that are all-electric, highly energy-efficient and will achieve zero-carbon in their operation when the electric utility grid is 100% carbon-free. Written from the perspective of the design team and the client, the case studies show the design strategies utilized with detailed descriptions and diagrams of all the energy-related systems in the building. All the buildings have targeted zero-net-energy use, so the actual performance results for at least one year are presented, along with the energy modeling analysis done during the design phases. Embodied carbon analysis methods are also discussed. The case studies include a new public city services building, a new six-story speculative office building, a new three-story medical office building, a new urban public middle school and a renovation of a historic college campus classroom building.
