{"product_id":"9783920034805","title":"Net Zero Energy Buildings","description":"\u003cp\u003e  \"Net zero energy buildings, equilibrium buildings or carbon neutral cities – depending on location and the reasons for making the calculation, the numbers are run differently. The variety of terms in use indicates that a scientific method is still lacking – which is 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 “Towards Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings”. The objective is to analyse 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: In addition to the presentation of selected projects, it is not just architectural showcase projects that are shown – the focus 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 possible today.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DETAIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050900308208,"sku":"9783920034805","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783920034805_p0.jpg?v=1763703162","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783920034805","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
