Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) encompass the design, construction, and maintenance of structures that produce as much energy as they consume over a year through renewable resources, thus achieving net-zero energy status. This is accomplished by implementing sustainable architecture principles, such as passive solar heating, natural ventilation, optimal insulation, and strategic window placement, along with integrating geothermal energy systems for efficient heating and cooling. The primary objective of ZEB is to minimize environmental impact, maximize occupant comfort, and reduce operational costs throughout the building's lifecycle.
