Net-Zero Energy Building Design Assistance

The University of Dayton Building Energy Center (UD-BEC) can provide engineering and economic analysis to support the design of net-zero energy buildings. Net-zero energy building design assistance helps integrate energy efficiency and renewable energy options under a unified approach.

UD-BEC Net-Zero Energy Building design assistance design assistance can include:

· Development hour-by-hour energy simulation model of baseline design

· Hour-by-hour simulation of solar photovoltaic/solar thermal/wind turbine system performance

· Baseline sizing of solar photovoltaic/solar thermal/wind turbine systems

· Identification of energy efficiency opportunities

· Integrated approach for selecting most cost effective energy efficiency and renewable energy options.

The cost for this service is generally $2,000, payable within 30-days of receipt of final report.
