Concept Project of Zero Energy Building

Abstract The acute problem of carbon dioxide emissions reduction into the atmosphere becomes more important due to the fact of the global climate change. Housing stock consumes 30 to 40% of all energy resources, according to various estimates. As the result, it is possible to get carbon dioxide atmosphere emissions reduction due to energy consumption reduction. The problem of housing stock energy efficiency improvement becomes very important. Transition to low energy consumption buildings construction becomes a trend which in the nearest future will transform to the task of Applied Research in the field of design and construction. Such exploration object is to design buildings with zero energy consumption or close, which is planned construct on the site of the Polytechnic University. The novelty of the project consists in an integrated approach of the house design, which will be entirely autonomous and independent from the urban networks.
