The paper will discuss a research initiative for Zero Energy Building (ZEB) at Lehigh University. While interest in ZEBs has taken off, research and development in this area is lagging. The development of commercial energy-efficient building envelopes, utilization of geothermal energy, and integration of solar collection into the building system is not widespread. The work was performed over a year by a team of faculty and industry members uniquely experienced in research on the fundamental aspects of the proposed concept: thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy piles, surface optimization, and insulated wall panel development.
