Potential Impacts of Net-Zero Energy Buildings With Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation on the U.S. Electrical Grid
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential aggregate effects of net-zero energy building (NZEB) implementations on the electrical grid in a simulation-based analysis is evaluated, assuming that net-metering is available for NZEBs such that the excess on-site PV generation can be fed to the electric grid.

Detailed energy efficiency strategies for converting an existing office building to NZEB: a case study in the Pacific Northwest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a methodology for converting conventional energy consumption buildings to net zero energy buildings (NZEB) and evaluate different energy efficiency strategies (EESs) so as to reduce energy consumption.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
