Net Zero Energy Building Model Buildings that produce as much energy as they consume 1. Integrated design and operations planning 2. Site renewable strategies get optimized using dc 3. Energy Storage in dc allow Grid independence 4. System Intelligence control, monitor, verify On-site Electricity Demand DC Net Zero Energy AC Distributed Renewable Energy DC power would fundamentally change the way power is distributed in commercial buildings 2012: Begin DC Microgrid Demonstrations 2030: All new commercial buildings 2040: 50% of commercial building stock 2050: All commercial buildings Greater Philadelphia Innovation Center Energy Hub 4 EMerge Alliance Corp - 2009-2010 Vision Standards Eco-System Transformation 4
