bedzed(国外英文资料) Zero energy building versus green building The comparison of zero-carbon buildings with green buildings The goal of green buildings and sustainable buildings is to use resources more efficiently and reduce the negative impact of buildings on the environment. And zero energy building one of the key green building goals: in the construction of life cycle, completely or largely reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Zero-carbon buildings are not considered green in all respects, such as reducing waste, using recycled materials and so on. However, relative to other need to input energy or fossil fuels could satisfy the requirement of users can achieve livable degree and the green buildings, zero carbon building does have to less and less influence on the ecological environment development in the direction of the trend. The goal of green building and sustainable architecture is to use resources more efficiently and reduce a buildings negative impact on the environment.[19] Zero energy buildings achieve one key green-building goal of completely or very significantly reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions for the life of the building. Zero energy buildings may or may not be considered green in all areas, such as reducing waste, using recycled building materials, etc. However, zero energy, or net-zero buildings do tend to have a much lower ecological impact over the life of the building compared with other green buildings that require imported energy and/or fossil fuel to be habitable and meet the needs of occupants. Because of the design challenges and sensitivity to a site that are required to efficiently meet the energy needs of a building and occupants with renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.), designers must apply holistic design all, and take advantage of the free naturally occurring assets available, to the as passive solar orientation, natural ventilation, daylighting, thermal mass, and night time cooling.
