Vi er en gruppe studenter og phd-stipendiater som jobber med fornybar energi innenfor mange forskjellige fagtradisjoner. Vi vil jobbe for at Norge skal bli et foregangsland gjennom utviklingen av et nytt og mer miljøvennlig energisystem. Vi ønsker en opplyst klimadebatt og helhetlige løsninger på problemene.

The buildings of tomorrow are powered by solar energy
Av Clara Good, stipendiat ved Institutt for byggekunst, historie og teknologi, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
In
Norway, as well as in most countries, buildings account for about 40% of the
energy use. By making buildings more energy efficient, we can significantly
reduce the global energy demand. The European Union has set ambitious goals for
its member countries. In the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD),
it is declared that “by 2020, all new buildings shall be nearly zero energy
buildings” (European Parliament 2010).
Nearly zero energy buildings are very energy efficient buildings that
generate most of the energy they need from renewable energy sources on the building
itself or nearby. That is, a building that by 2020 all new buildings in the EU
will be small-scale power plants.
So how can buildings generate energy? The most obvious answer is: by
using solar energy. In fact, it is almost impossible to build a zero energy
building without it.
