Highlights The paper reports a tool and methodology for the analysis of the influence of electricity exchange from Zero Energy Buildings on the overall energy system. The paper qualify and quantify why such exchange should be best dealt with at the system level and not at the individual building level. The paper introduce a compensation factor for including exchange of electricity in the definition of Zero Energy Buildings. The paper makes a first attempt to calculate the size of such compensation factor for Zero Energy Buildings with PV and Wind. 3 From net energy to zero energy buildings: Defining life cycle zero energy buildings (LC-ZEB) Original Research Article Energy and Buildings, Volume 42, Issue 6, June 2010, Pages 815-821 Patxi Hernandez, Paul Kenny

Abstract
This study determined cost optimal and nearly zero energy building (nZEB) energy performance levels following the REHVA definition and energy calculation methodology for nZEB national implementation. Cost optimal performance levelsmeaning the energy performance leading to minimum life cycle costwere calculated with net present value method according to the cost optimal draft regulation. The seven step procedure was developed to conduct cost optimal and nZEB energy performance levels calculations in systematic and robust scientific fashion. It was shown that cost optimal primary energy use can be calculated with limited number of energy simulations as only four construction concepts were simulated and cost calculated. The procedure includes the specification of building envelope components based on specific heat loss coefficient and systems

calculation with post processing of energy simulation results, without the need to use iterative approach or optimization algorithm. Model calculations were conducted for Estonian reference detached house to analyze the difference between the cost optimal and nZEB energy performance levels. Cost optimal energy performance level of Estonian reference detached house was 110 kWh/(m2 a) primary energy including all energy use with domestic appliances and it was significantly lower than the current minimum requirement of 180 kWh/(m2 a).

Highlights We determined cost optimal and nZEB energy performance levels with REHVA definition. EPBD recast and cost optimal regulation were used for life cycle cost calculations. The seven step procedure was developed to conduct systematic and robust calculations. Specific heat loss coefficient was introduced to optimize the building envelope. Only four construction concepts with large number of technical systems were studied. 5 Re(De)fining Net Zero Energy: Renewable Emergy Balance in environmental building design Original Research Article Building and Environment, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 20 July 2011 Ravi S.

Combined heat and power systems can improve urban energy-efficiency but are often subject to planning restrictions. An MILP optimization model is used to design integrated urban energy systems for various city sizes and technology types. Restricting urban CHP use has little effect on overall system cost, but cost structure is different. Restricting urban CHP use can reduce overall urban energy-efficiency by up to 24% versus a reference case. 8 Energy supply concepts for zero energy residential buildings in humid and dry climate Original Research Article Energy Conversion and Management, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 2455-2460 S.

Graphical abstract

Highlights The result of a design procedure aimed at achieving zero energy balance in the residential sector is presented. With special regard to the Mediterranean climate, a new housing development is described and used for energy investigation. High performing and zero energy balance buildings cannot be reached by technology alone, but by the search of an integrated design combining passive tools with RES micro-generation. Zero energy balance and zero local CO2 emission houses in the Mediterranean climate are highly feasible. 11 Economic and exergy analysis of alternative plants for a zero carbon building complex Original Research Article Energy and Buildings, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 787-795 Tiziano Terlizzese, Enzo Zanchini

Research highlights

The developed methodology provides a simple way to estimate hourly energy consumption using energy consumption information from utility bills. The coefficients used in the methodology are obtained by running EnergyPlus Benchmark Models simulations; thus, the simulation process is transparent to the user. The methodology has been applied to a hypothetical building placed both in Atlanta, GA, and in Meridian, MS, and in both cases, errors obtained for the estimated hourly energy consumption are within 10%. 21 Robustness of a methodology for estimating hourly energy consumption of buildings using monthly utility bills Original Research Article Energy and Buildings, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 779-786 Aaron Smith, Nelson Fumo, Rogelio Luck, Pedro J.

Highlights

A gap exists in comprehensive and standardized accounting methods for urban carbon emissions. We propose a comprehensive and rigorous City Framework for Carbon Accounting (CiFCA). CiFCA classifies emissions hierarchically with corresponding carbon management strategies. Adoption of CiFCA allows for meaningful comparisons of claimed performance of eco-cities. 82 Cooling strategies, summer comfort and energy performance of a rehabilitated passive standard office building Original Research Article Applied Energy, Volume 87, Issue 6, June 2010, Pages 2031-2039 Ursula Eicker

Highlights This study identified cost-effective climate change adaptation pathways for Australian housing. In heating dominated climates, adaptation can be fulfilled by energy efficient building envelop. More should be used in cooling dominated climates, such as efficient appliances and renewable. Improving building thermal envelope efficiency is cost-effective in cooling dominated regions. On-site solar PV is currently more cost-effective instead in heating and cooling balanced regions. 90 Genetic-algorithm based approach to optimize building envelope design for residential buildings Original Research Article Building and Environment, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2010, Pages 1574-1581 Daniel Tuhus-Dubrow, Moncef Krarti
