What Is a Zero Energy House?

Bill Dunst not only promoted his theory of zero-energy buildings not only in the United Kingdom, but also in other places, and achieved many results. I also heard some stories of Bill Dunst and his company (ZEDfactory) at the beginning of this century. He did a lot of promotion work on zero-energy buildings in China. I only came into contact with his influence in China. He, got to know him, felt him, and then went to visit him personally in England. This book has a lot of feasible things in terms of technology, a lot of exploratory practices, and also includes how the entire human race realizes its dreams and responds to the modern energy crisis.

Zero Energy Technology for Buildings

Although the whole book is a systematic professional work, the text is easy to understand, and the idea of promoting energy conservation and emission reduction can be deeply rooted in people's hearts. The author is committed to designing a new architectural design language to cope with what has happened in this beautiful country. Major climate change threats. This book explains zero-energy life through three different parts. The first part introduces the basic system behind zero-energy life, the second part delves into the details of design, and the third part illustrates the theory of zero-energy life by enumerating cases. Application, these three parts introduce the production and basic concepts of the Zero Energy Consumption (ZED) from shallow to deep, the conditions and feasibility schemes involved in achieving zero energy consumption, and the zero energy consumption in houses, villages, cities Case analysis realized in people's life and work.
Throughout the book, I find that it conveys not only the concept of zero energy consumption, but also the combination, refinement, and hope of past and future technologies. It is a perfect fusion of existing and emerging technologies, showing the amount of technical information. It is big enough to help those who are concerned about energy saving, emission reduction and renewable energy applications.
