The International Energy Agency released a publication that estimated that existing buildings are responsible for more than 40% of the world's total primary energy consumption and for 24% of global carbon dioxide emissions.NZEBs can be seen as the cornerstone of effective CO2 emissions reduction and the major driver for community participation in saving the planet. The intention of this paper is to highlight the definition of NZEBs, discuss the Lebanese situation in this concern, and explore the possible application of NZEBs in Lebanon. The problematic of the practical part in this thesis is to check the possibility and feasibility of applying the net zero energy concepts in Lebanon and accordingly set minimum requirements for the application of NZEBs in Lebanon in the future. For this purpose, we have used thermal standard compliance software TSBC, weather data software METEONORM, Solar Water Heaters Simulation software T-Sol, Photovoltaic Simulation software PV-Sol, and building energy simulation software Designbuilder.
Few voice-in/voice-out applications are available on the web. One problem appears to be the lack of appropriate open-source tools. More speech applications would increase the functionality of the web for people with visual, cognitive, and motor disabilities. Our research group has developed open-source tools for the creation and deployment of speech applications by nonexpert as well as expert users, and an open-source software platform to deploy those applications on the web. In addition, a suite of exemplar speech applications, together with documentation, has been built to facilitate the creation and deployment of similar applications by others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
