2 Background of nzeb in Japan 1. NZEB (Net Zero Energy Building) has become recognized to be important for energy conservation and global warming prevention. 2. In Japan, after the East Japan Great Disaster, the need of self-sufficiency of energy has been recognized from the viewpoint of energy security. 3. Definition and Evaluation method of nzeb is not so clear that design method of nzeb is not yet established. Discussion on Definition and Evaluation Method of NZEB in SHASE of Japan from

12 Definition of NZEB in SHASE of Japan Qualitative Definition A Net Zero-Energy Building is a building that has a high energy saving through load reduction, natural energy use and high energy efficiency without decreasing the environmental quality both indoor and outdoor. With the introduction of on-site renewable energies, the energy generation will be greater than or equal to the energy consumption. 11

14 Definition of NZEB in SHASE of Japan Quantitative Definition R Renewable Energy R:Renewable Energy Supply D Delivered Energy D:Delivered Energy electricity fuel Building (On-site) electricity G Energy Generation G:Energy Generation E Site boundary E:Exported Energy Site Boundary Exported Energy heat Exported Energy electricity heat C Energy Consumption C:Energy Consumption Demand Energy use Building needs HVAC Lighting Plug load Others Net Zero Energy Building is defined as G=C or D=E A Site boundary identifies the physical boundary (used for zero energy accounting). G (Energy Generation)/C(Energy Consumption) balance D (Dlivered Energy)/ E(Exported Energy) balance In principle, ZEB is measured through actual annual source energy. Energy Demand and Energy Supply Balance of NZEB Energy generated on-site is used for building needs; HVAC, lighting, plug load, others (ventilation, sanitary system EV, etc.) In the case the appliance energy is measured, it is possible to exclude appliance energy consumption from the building needs because it does not influence the building quality and also it's out of the building designer's control.

If multiplied with coefficient, CO2 emissions and energy cost can be replacable by weighted supply and demand. Physical definition of ZEB is represented by G C or D E.
