目前正在发展的净零能耗建筑概念应该适应不同的气候情况。我国严寒地区冬季采暖能耗大，建筑能耗高，燃气排放量大。在严寒气候下设计和运行净零能耗建筑是一项挑战。本文将讨论以能效和环境可持续性为目标的净零能耗办公建筑设计的可行性。 以辽宁省沈阳市为例，探索了一座校园办公楼。该案例研究被称为“中德零能耗中心”，是中国严寒气候下近净零能耗建筑的首批实例之一。进行建筑模拟以验证室内照明环境和年能耗。为案例研究计算了能量平衡，目的是达到净零能量的电力目标。 在运行期间实施精确的能量监控。本案例研究表明，为了实现节能和环境可持续性的目标，应考虑采用适合严寒气候的适当节能策略，以提高建筑的综合性能。引用:2016年冬季会议，佛罗里达州奥兰多，会议论文

The currently developing concept of Net Zero Energy Building should be adaptive for different climate situations. Buildings in the severe cold areas of China have higher energy consumption and gas emission due to large heating energy consumption in wintertime. It is challenging to design and operate a net zero energy building in severe cold climate. This paper will discuss the feasibility of a net zero energy office building design targeting for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. An on-campus office building is explored as an experimental case study in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in China. The case study, which is called "Sino-Germany Zero-Energy Center", is one of the first examples of a nearly net zero energy building in the severe cold climate of China. Building simulation is performed to validate the interior lighting environment and annual energy consumption. Energy balance was calculated for the case study, with the aim of reaching an electricity target of net zero energy. Precise energy monitoring is implemented during operation. This case study shows that to achieve the goal of energy efficient and environment sustainability, appropriate energy efficient strategies adapted to severe cold climate should be considered to improve the integrated performance of the building.
