Abstract

Due to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases, our ecosystem faces severe global warming and climate change challenges. Conventional energy resources have been incredibly exhausted in developing and maintaining the infrastructure for housing and industries over the past few decades. To meet the continuous demand of the energy sector, it is now crucial to explore the possibilities of renewable energy sources and sustainable infrastructures. Making buildings with net zero demand is one such goal. Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) can meet their energy demands. NZEBs are a necessity within the context of growing urbanization in India. Technological advantages in solar energy, geothermal heating, and wind turbines can achieve net zero energy status. In the present paper, we are reviewing the NZEB’s facts about their implementation and sustainability in the country. We are carefully examining one of the NZEBs, named Rajkumari Ratnavati School in Jaisalmer, as a case study from multiple NZEB standards perspectives. The present study attempts to cover the essential aspects of NZEBs with examples like Rajkumari Ratnavati School.
