This document provides an analysis of the costs of a zero energy building. It discusses the objectives of studying how to make buildings more efficient in terms of costs by deploying alternative technologies compared to traditional buildings. It introduces the concept of a net zero energy building, which produces as much renewable energy as it consumes annually. The document reviews past literature on zero energy buildings and discusses methods that could be used in the study, such as using solar panels for energy storage and efficient windows. It concludes that buildings currently use a large portion of global energy and that net zero energy buildings present an opportunity to significantly reduce environmental impacts through efficient design and renewable energy integration.
