Description
Abstract:	The design of this 1280 square foot, 3-bedroom Denver zero energy home (ZEH) carefully combines envelope efficiency, efficient equipment, appliances and lighting, a photovoltaic (PV) system, and passive and active solar thermal features to exceed the net zero energy goal. In January 2006, a data acquisition system was installed in the home to monitor its performance over the course of a year. The ZEH presented here was a result of collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. A previous paper details the construction of the home (Norton and Christensen 2006). This paper will briefly review the design then focus on the first year energy performance of the home.
