Groundbreaking evolution towards
ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGSNew technologies for building power distribution
Hi everyone,I’m Elio Burguera (@ecburguera)
and I would like to share with you some
information about new green building technologies,
mainly focusing on the future of Zero Energy Buildings
National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office
are residential or commercial buildings
with greatly reduced energy needs
through efficiency gains, such that the
balance of energy needs can be supplied
with renewable technologies within
Net Zero Energy Buildings
• The lack of new technologiesfor architects and engineers
• Increased construction costfor developers and owners
It looks simple, butZero Energy Buildings still have strongbarriers to grow, mainly because of:
There is an unmet need for morecompetitive technologies to allow everybuilding to become a Net Zero EnergyBuilding…
without any over costfor developers and owners
To sum up
Some of the most important costelements are:
• Renewable energy sources
• High efficient Lighting
• Energy management systems
• Intelligent metering
• High efficient A/C and othermechanical equipment
• Efficient thermal insulations
All of them represent high constructioncosts, but currently there are largeinvestments in research looking to
increase the efficiency and reduce coston all these fields.
the busway technologies, that are currently
in use, were designed more than 50 years
ago and were meant to be used in large
industries, not in buildings.
That’s good news, but…
Therefore, the market is still urging formore efficient and competitivetechnologies
specificallydesigned for buildings

Proper power distribution can bethe best insurance for users in a building
But also
safer and more reliable.
With an amazing marketbased on clean energieson construction

Latin American $4.93 billion
Other markets $109.97 billion

Let’s take a lookat the future
Power distribution systems have hadlittle improvement since the originalpatents of Thomas Edison and NicolaTesla…
developed at the beginningof the 20th century
Of course not.The complex and costly power networkwill be gradually replaced by a simplerand more efficient system to guarantee
a clean energy future
It will be simple,
efficient and reliable
Jeremy Rifkin
Using Internet technology to transform thepower grid of every continent into an”energy-sharing inter-grid” that acts just likethe Internet where millions of buildings aregenerating small amounts of energy locally,on-site.
