A Demonstrated Net Zero Energy Building in Thailand: The Way for Sustainable Development in Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) concept has been applied to make a selected building as a self-energy provider. The building was partly modified to reduce its energy consumption using several energy efficient technologies such as wall material, insulator, VRF air condition unit, solar lighting, LED light bulbs, etc. While, electricity served into the building was generated by solar energy (PV panels). The monitored data over one year have proved that this build can generate the electricity more than its energy demand. This is a good achievement of Net ZEB in Thailand.
