净零能耗是一个有影响力的目标，引导建筑存量转向可再生能源。这一目标越来越多地扩展到整个社区，其中可能包括每个新开发阶段的若干栋建筑。尽管建筑能源建模流程和规范已经得到了很好的发展，以指导决策，但缺乏社区综合能源总体规划的方法。地区系统的可用性使问题进一步复杂化，这些系统可以更好地收集和存储现场可再生能源。为了应对这些挑战，本文提出了一种能源建模方法，帮助能源总规划师确定建筑节能措施和地区系统设计之间的权衡。此外，本文还表明，使用最小的区域设备可以缓解净零能量社区的电和热峰值。该方法通过一项冷气候案例研究进行了验证，该研究同时具有显著的热/冷负荷和太阳能资源。 引文:2018年冬季会议，伊利诺伊州芝加哥，技术论文

Net zero energy is an influential goal guiding the buildingstock toward renewable energy resources. Increasingly, thistarget is scaled to entire communities, which may includedozens of buildings in each new development phase. Althoughbuilding energy modeling processes and codes have been welldeveloped to guide decision making, there is a lack of methodologiesfor community-integrated energy master planning.The problem is further complicated by the availability ofdistrict systems, which better harvest and store on-site renewableenergy. In response to these challenges, this papercontributes an energy modeling methodology that helps energymaster planners determine trade-offs between building energysaving measures and district system design. Furthermore, thispaper shows it is possible to mitigate electrical and thermalpeaks of a net zero energy community using minimal districtequipment. The methodology is demonstrated using a coldclimatecase study with both significant heating/cooling loadsand solar energy resources.
