Affordable Net-Zero Energy Homes - Affordable Net-Zero Energy Homes - Optimization and Integration of Renewable Optimization and Integration of Renewable Energy SystemsEnergy Systems

The Affordable Net Zero Energy Homes project extends the Path to Net Zero initiative through an intensive evaluation and comparison of new and emerging approaches to the integration of renewable energy sources and energy conservation.


Affordable Net-Zero Energy Homes - Affordable Net-Zero Energy Homes - Optimization and Integration of Renewable Optimization and Integration of Renewable Energy SystemsEnergy Systems To do this, the Affordable Net Zero Energy Homes Project will follow

a four-step work plan: Review best practices and define methodology. Assess technology and optimize performance. Model, analyze, and

optimize the most promising existing and emerging technologies. Affordable technology integration. Based on the results of the first two

steps, develop strategies for building affordable NZE housing. Knowledge dissemination. This is 2-year period project ending in March 2012. Milestone results will

be presented.

BIPV-T Systems for HomesBIPV-T Systems for Homes Focus is to select and test next-generation combined building-

integrated solar photovoltaic and thermal (BIPV-T) energy generating systems specifically suitable for homes Combined building integrated photovoltaic and thermal systems play an

important role in achieving high degree of energy efficiency in homes and buildings.

This project focuses on the state-of-the-art review and feasibility of BIPV-T systems specifically for housing applications.

Plans to do field testing of roof integrated systems at CCHT and also for a track-built home in Ottawa.

State-of-the art review of BIPV-T by September 2011. Field testing and monitoring results by December 2012.
