Abstract
The concept of zero energy building is considered a highly demand because of the danger of the global warming effect due to the gas emission from the petroleum based energy sources. In this work, a comprehensive study for zero energy building is carried out for one building in Jordan with 240m2 area which consists of 10 apartments with 150m2 each. The study concentrated on developing the best design of renewable energy that achieve zero energy for each apartment using photovoltaics (PV) and thermal solar collectors. The heating and cooling loads were calculated using a commercial software package (HAP) and F-chart method for solar heating load calculations. The expected monthly saving and payback period for each apartment were 63.7 JD, 3.1 years for case one, 59 JD, 3.4 years for case two, and 55 JD, 4.1 years for case three, respectively. It was found that the peak power energy of photostatic panels for a single typical apartment is 4.62 kWp which saves 764 JD/year and the required heating and cooling peak loads are 3336 kWh/year and 7632 kWh/year respectively. Hence the conservation of energy measures and integration of renewable energy will enforce energy efficiency into a net zero energy buildings.
