Net-zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings, or carbon-neutral citiesdepending on location and underlying agenda, the statistics vary. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lackingwhich poses a problem not just in regard to international communication, but also with respect to planning processes as a response to energy challenges. The clarification and meaning of the most important terms in use is extremely important for their implementation. Since October 2008 a panel of experts from an international energy agency has concerned itself with these topics as part of a project entitled Toward Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings. The objective is to analyze exemplary buildings that are near a zero-energy balance in order to develop methods and tools for the planning, design, and operation of such buildings. The results are documented in this publication. More than just a showcase presentation of select projects, the focus of this publication is on relaying knowledge and experience gained by planners and builders. Even if many questions remain unanswered, project examples that have already been implemented prove on a practical basis that the objective of a zero-energy balance is already attainable today.

Towards Zero-energy Architecture is a much needed call for the design professions to redefine architecture to help alleviate ecological problems. This book explores the theories, practices, and principles of new approaches to solar architecture that foster both design excellence and low-energy use.

Bouwen met een positieve footprint voor de bouwsector legt laagdrempelig uit hoe je radicaal duurzaam kan bouwen en waarom dat nu nog niet gebeurt. Dit boek biedt een nieuwe methode met praktische handvaten, tools en inzichten om zelf en vooral met je team en partners aan de slag te gaan. Dit boek is een must voor professionals die betrokken zijn bij de totstandkoming van een gebouw en verenigt alle stakeholders rond deze duurzame ambitie. Vincent van der Meulen is architect en partner bij Kraaijvanger Architects. Hij schreef dit boek op basis van zijn eigen ervaring, gedreven door zijn wens de verduurzaming van de bouwindustrie radicaal te versnellen.

Filling a gap in existing literature on sustainable design, this new guide introduces and illustrates sustainable design principles through detailed case studies of sustainable buildings in Europe, North America and Australia. The guide will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the design issues involved in delivering sustainable buildings, and giving detailed description of the process of integrating principles into practice. One hundred buildings, ranging from small dwellings to large commercial buildings, and drawn from a range of countries, demonstrate best current practice. The sections of the book are divided into design issues relating to sustainable development, including site and ecology, community and culture, health, materials, energy, and water. With over 400 illustrations, this highly visual guide will be an invaluable reference to all those concerned with architecture and sustainability issues.
