Feasibility of Zero Energy Building at Noida, Uttar Pradesh
Abstract
Due to advanced technology & modernization, energy requirement is massively increased to fulfill the needs& thereby, Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into the environment increased day by day. CO2 emissions act like a blanket in the air, increasing heat in environment and thereby warming up the earth& changing the climate drastically. CO2 emission layer prevents the Earth from cooling & inviting other issues. We all know that global warming would adversely affects the condition of environment, food and water supplies, health issue and sea levels etc. According to various estimates, buildings consume 30to 40%[i] of all energy resources and by energy consumption reduction method, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions intoatmosphere. With help of renewable energy technologies, energy needs through efficiency gains are greatly reduced. In this paper I have tried to explore the concept of zero energy in a residential building located at Noida sector 168. It is well understood that maximum people across the globe usually spend maximum time inside homes,hence it becomes important to save energy by suitable means. We have to more develop efficient energy conversion devices with low environmental impacts and using maximum energy, which is produced thro’ renewable energy sources as it has no or low impacts on environment and good for earth & depletion of O3 layer can be minimized.
