Abstract

The world faces a string of serious energy and environmental challenges. The global energy and environmental scenarios are closely interlinked – the problems with the supply and use of energy are related to wider environmental issues including global warming, air pollution, deforestation, ozone depletion and radioactive waste. The building sector has a major role to play in tackling these issues as it is responsible for over 40% of the world’s total primary energy consumption and up to 30% of the total Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Development of low and zero energy homes could be a possible solution to reduce the energy and environmental burdens associated with this sector. The article presents the findings of an ongoing research project on the development of zero energy homes in the Middle East.
