Seminar 28 -- The Largest Zero-Energy Building:  What is Under the Hood? PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

The NREL Research Support Facility claims to be the largest zero-energy office building in the world. The seminar dives into the "nuts and bolts" of the building hardware including the mechanical systems (hydronic heating and cooling with dedicated outside air using transpired collectors, a basement labyrinth, and evaporative cooling), lighting systems (daylighting and electrical), envelope (glazing and envelope systems), and design of the plug loads that integrate together to create a building that was constructed at no additional cost yielding a 50% energy savings.
