Review of holistic research on NetZero Energy Homes: energy simulation, energy monitoring, and performance improvement
conference contribution
posted on 2018-01-01, 00:00 authored by Hong Xian LiHong Xian Li, M. Reza Hosseini, Peng Zhang, Mark LutherMark Luther, Anthony MillsAnthony MillsA NetZero Energy Home (NZEH) is designed, modelled, and constructed to produce as much energy as it
consumes on an annual basis, with the required energy generated from renewable energy resources. This paper reviews
holistic research on NZEHs from the perspectives of energy simulation, energy monitoring, actual energy performance,
and operation/design improvement. HOT2000, developed by Natural Resources Canada, is utilised as the tool to simulate
the energy performance of NZEHs. Using multiple NZEHs as the case projects, sensor-based monitoring systems are
developed to evaluate the actual energy performance of NZEHs, and the results are used to analyse the discrepancy among
different NZEHs and to compare with the simulated results. Based on comprehensive analysis and comparison, operation
and design strategies are proposed to improve the performance of NZEHs.
