AbstractThe popular zero energy project in home construction is becoming a popular practice. The netzero energy requires a sum of the embodied energy which has been mainly due to the construction of the building as well as the different operations that are set for consumption of daily energy and the maintenance. For this, the buildings get more energy generally from the grid with buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year with energy and buildings. The buildings make use of the electrical grid for the storage of energy which are found to be independent of the grids as well. Change in climate in the current time is becoming the most pressing challenge and so zero energy has been able to bring the change in the energy and construction technologies.

IntroductionThe zero-energy building is the total amount of energy which has been used by the building based on the amount of renewable energy. This tends to contribute towards the less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. The net zero energy has been mainly about the energy which is for the operations that handles the consumption related to daily energy with maintenance. Along with this, all the energy related to the wastes and the disposals is evaluated for the on-site supply. (Attia et al., 2013). This also means that big savings for the bigger profit and buyers for the construction business. The concept of zero energy project also has many resources for the cost effective zero energy home in building as well as in design. DiscussionLow carbon construction materialsThe low carbon bricks, green concrete, green tile and the recycled metals are some of the possible materials for the low carbon construction. The low carbon buildings have been mainly for reducing the emissions of the GHG (Green House Gas) which is mainly released at the time of construction, operation, renovation and the deconstruction process. Hence, the materials which are required for the manufacturing needs to be properly used with recycling the same, reducing the material quantity. The usage of the solar, wind, low impact hydro is some of the measures which could be able to reduce the emissions of GHG. A proper development and usage of the green power, carbon offsets and the GHG reductions help in measuring and handling the reports to reduce the building emissions with adopting the strategies which are effective. To accomplish the effective use of energy along with zero energy design completely departs in significant manner from traditional construction practice.(da Graça et al., 2012).
