Energy-plus-house An energy-plus house (also called: plus-energy house, efficiency-plus house) produces more energy from renewable energy sources, over the course of a year, than it imports from external sources. This is achieved using a combination of microgeneration technology and low-energy building techniques, such as: passive solar building design, insulation and careful site selection and placement. A reduction of modern conveniences can also contribute to energy savings, however many energy-plus houses are almost indistinguishable from a traditional home, preferring instead to use highly energy-efficient appliances, fixtures, etc., throughout the house. PlusEnergy is a term used in building design to describe a structure that produces more energy than it uses. The term was coined in 1994 by Rolf Disch when building his private residence, the Heliotrope as the first PlusEnergy house in the world. Disch then went on to refine the concepts involved with several more projects built by his company Rolf Disch Solar Architecture in order to promote PlusEnergy for wider adoption in residential, commercial and retail spaces. Disch maintains that PlusEnergy is more than just a method of producing environmentally-friendly housing, but also an integrated ecological and architectural concept. As such, PlusEnergy is intended to be superior to low-energy or zero-energy designs such as those of Passivhaus. The PlusEnergy approach uses a variety of techniques to produce a building that generates more energy than it consumes. A typical example is to capture heat during the day in order to reduce the need to generate heat over night. This is achieved using large North and South facing window areas to allow sunlight to penetrate the structure, reducing the need for energy use from light bulbs. Triple-paned windows (U-value = 0.7) trap this heat inside, and the addition of heavy insulation then means the structure is already warm in the evening and therefore needs less heating. In the Sun Ship, a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) commercial, retail and residential PlusEnergy structure, techniques such as phase changing materials in the walls and vacuum insulation are also used. This permits maximum availability of floor space without compromising efficient insulation. Analyse the text. .

Passive Carbon-Neutral Buildings
PLEA2012 - 28th Conference, Opportunities, Limits & Needs Towards an environmentally responsible architecture Lima, Perú 7-9 November 2012 Plus-Energy Building - Designing with Exergy-Entropy Processes THOMAS SPIEGELHALTER1 1College of Architecture, Co-Director ESTL Lab, Florida International University, Miami ABSTRACT: Critical global issues of energy use, resource depletion, and land use are forcing the academia and professionals to re-evaluate design and construction processes, and look to more resource efficient practices. Designing carbon-neutral plus-energy buildings with active, passive or hybrid means of achieving thermal comfort requires a thorough understanding of micro-climatic site conditions, building occupancy, psychrometrics, physics, and the availability of renewable resources. This is why new legislation and increasing market demands are changing and driving the education, the profession and developers to create measureable low-carbon buildings worldwide. While it may be unrealistic to completely move away from the current high-exergy active methods for climate control, considering passive means of low-exergy-heating, cooling and ventilation are becoming increasingly critical. Present HVAC systems have already achieved relatively high thermal efficiencies as defined by the first law of thermodynamics. However, according to the second law of thermodynamics, there is an urgent need to increase low- exergy efficiencies by changing high-exergy consuming HVAC sources to passive low-exergy systems. INTRODUCTION Buildings must be designed with a high degree of passive alignment and response to their surroundings. In seeking these solutions, designers and engineers have turned to the adjacent field of biology to discover climate appropriate solutions. Leading examples of biologically- inspired innovation in the architectural field have adapted building processes, form and materials to reflect natural traits.

Yet its magnificent cathedral survived - miraculously unscathed -and many of the buildings in the 'Old Town' have since been rebuilt in their original style to delight today's residents and visitors alike. But Freiburg's historical façade sits alongside some thoroughly 21st century technology in what has become known as Germany's federal capital of sustainable development. The momentum behind much that has been achieved can be traced back to the 1970s when the University community joined forces with local farmers and other citizens’ groups to oppose the nearby construction of a nuclear power station. Since then, the city's achievements have been nothing short of remarkable. It boasts a public transport system which carries some 70 million passengers annually and is used by almost a third of the commuting population every day, while another 30% go to work by bicycle. Commuter car journeys have fallen dramatically since 1976, from 25 000 per day to 6000 with a consequent 50% fall in road accidents.

Ever since the early 1970es, Rolf Disch has shown a strong commitment to environmental issues. Star- ting with individual family homes and communal projects, it was the movement against nuclear power plants which made him think of alternatives. Today, he is famous for his concept of plus-energy houses that produce more energy than they consume. Disch is a visionary pragmatist. The vision is to make so- lar energy the engine of society. For the pragmatic achievement of this aim, the architect and his office have come up with innovative and affordable solu- tions. Solutions that can be adapted world-wide. Let us introduce you to three of Disch’s major pro- jects – three milestones in solar architecture: The Heliotrope is an experimental and immensely en- ergy efficient building that turns with the course of the sun. With the Solar Settlement (Solarsiedlung), Solar architecture is not about fashion - Disch managed to design a complete housing es- it is about survival. tate at a unique sustainability standard: affordable solar architecture for everyone. With the Sun Ship Lord Norman Foster (Sonnenschiff), he transfers the technologies of producing and saving energy to the larger scale of a five storey commercial and office building.

Without doubt, unsustainable consumption of non- renewable natural resources like fossil fuels, the Environment will be at risk in the near future. While, the building sector accounts more than a third of energy. There fore reduce the amount of energy in Buildings causes toward sustainable development which consistent with the needs of today's generation which put future generation at risk. One of the painters of sustainability in architecture is the use of natural energy and fossil energy consumption and minimum natural environmental conditions and climate so solar building designs which is a step towards its achieving .In this article , has been expressed the important factors in solar buildings design. These factors are included external factors and internal factors. More owner implementation strategies in the design to same energy in buildings also will be presented.
