zerototalenergy
ZeroTotalEnergy refers to a theoretical concept in architecture, urban planning, and sustainable design where a building, structure, or system achieves a net-zero total energy consumption over a specified period, typically a year. This means that the energy used by the building is fully offset by energy generated on-site, often through renewable sources such as solar, wind, or geothermal systems. The goal is to create self-sufficient environments that minimize reliance on external energy grids while reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.
The principle of ZeroTotalEnergy builds upon the idea of net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs), which balance energy
Achieving ZeroTotalEnergy involves several key strategies, such as maximizing energy efficiency through high-performance insulation, smart building
While ZeroTotalEnergy is an ambitious target, it aligns with global sustainability goals, including the Paris Agreement’s
