“…Briga-Sa et al [5], Soussi et al [6], Wang et al [7], Chel et al [8], Yilmaz and Basak Kundakci [9], Hami et al [10] and Onbasioglu and Egrican [11] studied the Trombe wall performance in buildings. Their results showed that the Trombe wall provides suitable indoor conditions, but it also has the disadvantages such as heat loss from glasses to environment, the reverse thermo circulation during the night and etc.…”

“…(2) Heat storage system: Various studies associated with the heat storage system have been conducted because the heat capacity of a building is a very important factor from the point of view of nZEB. This study examined the previous studies that analyzed the energy reduction according to the building thermal performance, focusing on the thermal mass and trombe wall (refer to Table 5) [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]. First, there are many previous studies that focused on reducing the heating and cooling demand of a building through the heat storage function of the thermal mass [56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…Chernounsov and Chan (2016) analyzed the thermal performance of the building-envelope-integrated PCM with a high specific heat capacity using the EnergyPlus software program for an office building in Hong Kong. Through this study, the relationship between the indoor thermal environment and the PCM's thickness, placement, and orientation was analyzed [61] Second, the past studies related to the trombe wall, which functions as a heat storage system by applying a solar heating collector made of double glazing on the wall, are as follows [62][63][64][65][66] The results showed that the trombe wall increased the cooling demand in summer, but it is very suitable for the Belgrade climate because of its efficient heating energy-saving in winter [66]. (3) Lighting design: From the perspective of nZEB implementation, this study analyzed the previous studies focused on the lighting emitting diode (LED), light shelves, and lighting control system as methods for reducing the lighting load (refer to Table 6) [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Abstract:To cope with 'Post-2020', each country set its national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target (e.g., South Korea: 37%) below its business-as-usual level by 2030. Toward this end, it is necessary to implement the net-zero energy building (nZEB) in the building sector, which accounts for more than 25% of the national GHG emissions and has a great potential to reduce GHG emissions. In this context, this study conducted a state-of-the-art review of nZEB implementation strategies in terms of passive strategies (i.e., passive sustainable design and energy-saving technique) and active strategies (i.e., renewable energy (RE) and back-up system for RE). Additionally, this study proposed the following advanced strategies for nZEB implementation according to a building's life cycle: (i) integration and optimization of the passive and active strategies in the early phase of a building's life cycle; (ii) real-time monitoring of the energy performance during the usage phase of a building's life cycle. It is expected that this study can help researchers, practitioners, and policymakers understand the overall implementation strategies for realizing nZEB.

“…The thermal mass may be a poor insulator during night and its effect needs to be studied separately. Briga-Sa et al discussed the influence of the massive wall thickness, the existence of the ventilation system and the introduction of the external shutters in the thermal performance of a Trombe wall and found that the heat gains by transfer represents 20.89% of the global heat gains, resulting 14.49% from conduction, convection and radiation through the wall and 6.40 % from air convection due to the existence of ventilation system [27]. Morris et al made a field based experimental study of insulated roof and insulated ceiling for naturally ventilated buildings in Malaysia and found that both the pitch insulation and ceiling insulation lowers the daytime indoor temperature up to 0.8°C and 0.6°C respectively [28].…”

Abstract-The primary function of a building is to provide thermally comfortable environment to its occupants. A good indoor climate is important for the success of any building, not only because it will make its occupants comfortable, but also because it will decide its energy consumption, and thus influences its sustainability. A literature review of over 100 research papers, in four areas in the field of Energy Conservation in Buildings, i.e. (i) Climate Responsive Buildings, (ii) Analysis, Simulation and Modelling, (iii) Zero Energy Buildings and (iv) Thermal Comfort, were conducted in order to obtain a valid research topic. The findings of the literature survey is presented in this paper which include issue wise discussion, solution approaches used by various researchers, strengths, weaknesses and future scope of work in the four issues pertaining to energy conservation in buildings. Out of the several identified lag, it was felt that there was a dearth of field studies based thermal comfort research in India, which is essential for the correct definition of building codes. Proper building codes are required not only for providing comfort condition but also to conserve energy. Hence field studies based thermal comfort study was considered for further research study. Thus, this paper summarizes the researches about Climate Responsive Buildings, Analysis, Simulation and Modelling, Zero Energy Buildings and Thermal Comfort. It also concludes the methodology of these researches in above four fields, and gives further work suggestions.
