Zero Energy Buildings 2Executive summary The analysis report concerns the conceptual and detailed design of waste house which is anecological construction project installed at UK’s University of Brighton. The model home hasbeen made from rejected waste. As a result of global climate changes, the effects of carbon ivoxides gas emission diminishes the amount of oxygen into the atmosphere. Hence zero emissionbuildings are designed with the use of construction techniques and various aspects ofconstruction such as double offset walls, builders and sub-contractors[CITATION Ale12 \l1033 ].

Zero Energy Buildings 4Introduction Zero energy buildings have the capacity of providing indoor comfort without the use of muchenergy. Since the Design and construction of the building are cost-effective towards decreasingthe rate of energy consumption, it greatly helps conserve the ecology for the future generation. Inorder to minimize the rate of emissions of carbon dioxide and safeguard the environment, humanbeings are thus obliged to utilize a small amount of heat mostly in heating. Annually, it isestimated that the old structures are utilizing between 200 to 400 kWh/m2 amount of energy forheating purposes. The hope of future generation buildings energy consumption estimatedbetween 20-50 kWh/m2[ CITATION Mah06 \l 1033 ].Zero energy buildings will help to realize these as per the standards stipulated in its mandate.These structures utilize 90 % of the resources from households and wastes from constructionsites that are used to build the waste house. Examples of the discarded materials aretoothbrushes, DVD cases, floppy discs and carpet tiles. The research paper is centred on theanalysis of the design of a waste house in Brighton's University which is carbon free and zeroenergy building. Besides, the report focuses on the conceptual and detailed design of thebuilding. [CITATION Bri11 \l 1033 ]. Needs DefinitionZero energy buildings are buildings which are regular and poses some desired featuressuch as being well protected, airtight and energy efficient. They provide a house which is carbonfree and has an overall zero energy. For instance, their design is a bit advanced from the oldbuildings i.e. incorporation of double-walled houses they are purely solar panelled therebymaking them a zero free energy structure. They promote sustainability, affordability and alsothey increase the human comfort. Besides, they are of high quality since they are more durable as
