NZEB CEPT UNIVERSITY submitted by Harshavardhan ABOUT THE CEPT UNIVERSITY LOCATION : GUJARAT UNIVERSITY AREA, AHMEDABAD ARCHITECT : B.V. DOSHI AREA OF SITE : 12.5 ACRE GENERAL INFORMATION : ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF SPATIAL PLANNING WITH INTERESTING PATHWAYS CEPT UNIVERSITY WAS STARTED IN 1962 UNDER THE AHMEDABAD EDUCATION SOCIETY AND WAS ACTIVELY SUPPORTED BY KASTURBA LAL BHAI A LEADING INDUSTRIALIST AND PHILANTHROPIST. THE SCHOOL BROKE AWAY FROM THE CONVENTIONAL TEACHING COURSES THE CONCEPT CHANGED FROM ARCHITECTURE AS A TECHNICAL DISCIPLINE TO ARCHITECTURE AS A DESIGN DISCIPLINE. WHAT IS NZEB (NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING)
A NET-ZERO ENERGY BUILDING (NZEB) IS A BUILDING WITH ZERO NET ENERGY
CONSUMPTION. IN SUCH A BUILDING, ENERGY CONSUMED IS EQUAL TO OR SOMETIMES LESS THAN THE ENERGY GENERATED BY INSTALLED RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES. VARIOUS PASSIVE AND ACTIVE STRATEGIES ARE DEPLOYED TO ENSURE THAT THE BUILDING CONSUMES AS LESS ENERGY AS POSSIBLE BUT WORKS EFFICIENTLY AT THE SAME TIME. CONSIDERING THAT BUILDINGS CONSUME THE MAXIMUM ENERGY IN A CITY, NZEBS CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARDS BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY. Harshavardhan (11811718) ABOUT NZEB(NET-ZERO ENERGY BUILDING) ON THE SITE
THE NZEB (Net-Zero Energy Building) is located at CEPT University,
Ahmedabad, which was analysed according to the climatic conditions of Ahmedabad and finalised the design in March 2012. They started construction in September 2012. They finished construction in March 2016. The NZEB (Net-Zero Energy Building) was planned on the site, near the GIDC Bhavan, Faculty of design and Faculty of Technology. NZEB The building has two accessibility’s on the site, one is from the north side and the other is from university road (Net Zero Energy Building)

PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES
ORIENTATION The building is north-south oriented with appropriate shading and light shelves on the south.
DAYLIGHTING Vision, clerestories, light shelves on south bring in diffuse daylight with occupant control. north light is used for introducing daylight into the building.

Harshavardhan (11811718) BUILDING AND SYSTEM LEVEL SENSORS
There are 357 sensors for building level and system-level monitoring which are connected with BMS. These are used to measure dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, the surface temperature of the envelope, globe temperature, occupancy, and CO2 at a 1-minute interval. They help in monitoring and controlling the systems in the building. The data is Actual energy consumption vs. generation through PV panels for the stored and can be accessed and visualized using BMS. year 2016 (Vaidya & Chatti, 2017) MATERIALS USED IN NZEB (Net Zero Energy Building)
