Technical validation of design of zero energy building in Ahvaz city based on reliability
Abstract
High value of energy, limitation in primary resources of common energy and increasing energy consumption in building have enticed the researchers to use renewable energy sources and provide the required energy of building including lighting, heating and cooling and this trend was developed to provide all the required energy of building. Establishment of zero energy building in terms of type of materials, site and construction, height and type of heating and cooling systems based on climatic conditions is an unknown factor being evaluated in this paper. The best technical design was extracted using AutoCAD software and analytic software of Design builder. To select the size of system, System Advisor model (Sam) software was applied. The software model of solar cooling system was simulated using PISTACHE software. By technical evaluation by numerical and software method, the best technical design was selected in a building with commercial use with the total area of 1500 m2 and total land 460 m2 with 15 commercial units (two-story), the main steps were taken to achieve the purpose of study.
