Zero Energy University Buildingsenergy Performance Evaluation Of Faculty Of Architectural Engineering In Tripoli's Branch, Osama Omar, Yathreb Sabsaby, Rehab Amro

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

One of the fastest growing trends in educational building design is Net Zero Energy buildings(ZEB). There are several buildings, either completed or under construction, that are committed to achieve this incredible level of energy efficiency [4]. The Fcaulty of Architecture building in BAU University is chosen as a case study to evaluate the energy performance in similar buildings in comparison with zero energy design strategies. The study used the findings from the analysis to identify and correct problem within the building. The aim of the research is to change the faculty building from an energy consumer to an energy producer, …
