Net Zero Energy
Achieving Net Zero energy is crucial for sustainable development, focusing on balancing a building’s energy consumption with its production annually. This goal is attainable through Distributed Energy Resources Management Systems (DERMS) integrated into Smart Building designs, ensuring energy management efficiency and sustainability.
DERMS plays a pivotal role, orchestrating energy production, storage, and consumption to maintain Net Zero balance. It aligns various energy sources, like renewable energy production through solar panels and wind turbines, and employs energy and thermal storage to match energy supply with demand. Heat pump technology for efficient heating and cooling, alongside the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart sensors, enhances energy efficiency and management.
This streamlined approach not only advances environmental sustainability but also promotes energy savings and building resilience. By moving towards Net Zero energy, buildings contribute positively to a sustainable, low-carbon future, emphasizing the importance of proactive energy management and innovative building practices.
