Smart zero-energy buildings and communities are crucial in driving the electric grid towards carbon neutrality policies. The overarching objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment necessitates a comprehensive approach that encompasses the significant reduction of energy consumption.

In this realm, cutting-edge advancements are being made in two key areas. Firstly, design methodologies and innovative technologies are being developed to minimize energy demand at the building level. This involves incorporating energy-efficient systems, optimizing building envelopes, and utilizing smart technologies to manage energy consumption effectively.

Secondly, the integration of information and communication technologies, along with the deployment of renewable energy and storage systems, forms the foundation for zero and positive energy buildings and communities. These buildings can produce, store, manage, and exchange energy locally, enabling them to achieve self-sufficiency and contribute to the overall energy grid.

To provide a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art in this field, this book delves into real-case studies and applications. It offers a structured and detailed exploration of the latest developments, techniques, and technologies, empowering readers to grasp the full potential of smart zero-energy buildings and communities in achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
