On site renewables energy is the obvious choice when designing a Net Zero project, however, careful design of the building can help increase the efficiency of the energy generated for the building.
An envelope that maintains the internal ambient temperature will require minimal mechanical input, increasing the efficiency.
Integrating nature’s different elements, to passively illuminate, cool and ventilate a building can greatly reduce energy load.
Spaces not requiring to be conditioned can be an annex of the main building, further decreasing energy requirements and increasing the building’s form factor.
