ZERO SERIES MODULE 02: DESIGN FOR ZERO OPERATIONAL CARBON

ZERO Carbon Design Series

ENGINEERING SERVICES DESIGN FOR ZERO OPERATIONAL CARBON I 1 Formal CPD Point
Available On Demand I 12 month expiry

Net zero carbon requires an understanding of the relationship of energy demand, the options for energy supply and how these will change over time. This lecture will discuss how building design can affect energy demand in different ways in different climactic zones. It will discuss how the energy supply solutions chosen might be different in different locations and for different building typologies, including:

  • Hospitals, airports and similar 24/7 critical processes
  • Campuses
  • Mixed-use precincts
  • Commercial office
  • Hotel/residential

The lecture will discuss the economics of carbon offsetting and how the changing carbon intensity of grid power might affect the design decisions we make today.

Learning Outcomes

 

At the end of this presentation you should be able to:

  1. Consider the interaction of building design with the choices made for energy supply to the building
  2. Determine how building design in one climactic zone or another might fundamentally alter how you approach the energy solution to it
  3. Differentiate the balance of grid, storage and renewable supply between different projects based on their climactic zone
  4. Connect appropriate design principles to climatic zone of a project
