ANALYSIS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN NET ZERO ENERGY HOUSES

Abstract

As the trend toward a decarbonized society accelerates, Net Zero Energy Houses are expected to become more popular. In recent years, the residential sector has been facing the problem of inadequate adjustment of power supply and demand due to the expansion of renewable energy installations. The objective of this study is to understand the actual situation of energy consumption and electricity supply and demand in Net Zero Energy Houses. The primary energy consumption of all-electrified and gas-combination ZEHs were compared. In addition, the relationship between house attribute, occupant lifestyle, and primary energy consumption of all-electrified ZEH were analyzed.
