ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS (ZEB)
• Objective is to have zero net energy usage over a long period of time, typically a year.
• Involves high levels of conservation: natural lighting, highly insulated, good windows, solar water heating, high efficiency appliances including a/c.
• Be able to generate energy by using, say, photovoltaics. Generation over the year must equal the amount of grid power used.

BACKGROUND OF UNLV ZEH PROJECT• Applied to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for Funding.
• Involved Pinnacle Homes, a local builder (1400 homes since 1992) that has an interest in innovation.
• Task was quite simple as grants go: develop a zero energy house that looked like a traditional Las Vegas tract house, and monitor its performance. Hope was to interest builders in ZEHs and similar advances.
• Equipment incorporated was open to our choices.• The builder we worked with also furnished a conventional “base case” house (minimal code, but same footprint as ZEH).

One Goal of Project We Developed
• To determine the cost effectiveness of many aspects of large scale residential development not being used at the time in Las Vegas.
• Do this by combining three critical aspects– Building energy simulations of as‐built house– Detailed data measurements of as‐built house performance to calibrate the simulations
– Vary the parameters of interest in simulations and determine effects on performance/cost

Data Record
• During a two‐year period both the ZEH and the base‐case houses served as model homes. They were not inhabited.
• During the following years the houses were inhabited.
• We monitored data for all years.• Used model home period to assess performance of the basic building construction details.

Solar Lighting
• Solar lighting approaches bring sunlight into rooms. Sky lights and windows are commonly used examples.
• Newer approaches involve systems that bring a great deal of light through small apertures.
• Solar hybrid lighting combines bringing in sunlight into lighting fixtures and using controls for conventional lights also there.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
• BIPV can denote several things, but primarily means PV is integrally designed into the building, not simply “strapped on”
• One exciting application is where PV is integrally incorporated into facades (either building skin or fenestrations)
• Work on developing glass that is partially transparent and partially PV generating is taking place in China and a few other places
• We have developed a facility to evaluate these

BESS Aspects
• Distributed community as well as residential BES systems are being evaluated in terms of their performance, lifecycle, controls/communications, and cost.
• To justify the cost of the BESS, additional applications besides load shifting are being sought. These include– Electric supply capacity – Area frequency regulation – Voltage Support (ancillary service)– Reserve Capacity (spinning reserve)

Some Concluding Comments
• Generally, combining computational techniques with measurements has given us tremendous insights about the economic viability of various building energy issues.
• Solar hybrid lighting can give us a high quality light source.• Related to Peak Reduction Project:
– Working with two companies who are not usually involved with government contracts is a challenge.
– Energy conserving construction can go a long way toward alleviating peak demands, but cannot cover it without high costs.
– PV can furnish peak load energy, but it does not cover the complete peak.
– Batteries are the “wild card.” They are expensive and their durability is open to question. However, they offer some great loading shifting possibilities.
