Minimizing Co2 Emission by Following Zeb Strategies in Sweden: Zero Energy / Emission Building Elaheh Jalilzadehazhari

It is possible to define ?zero energy/emission buildings? by various aspects. Energy consumption in operation phase of the buildings is the majority discussion in this field. EU?s targets regarding climate change and energy for sustainable growth which were approved by European parliament include greenhouse gas emission reduction by 20%,increase in consuming of renewable energy resources by 20% and achieving 20% increase in energy efficiency for moving toward zero energy/emission buildings until 2020. The zero energy/emission buildings are gaining interest as renewable energy resources which help to capture green house gases emission, especially CO2 emission. By considering this fact that residential buildings consume 40% of total delivered energy in Sweden,the scientifically assessment of CO2 level in this country by residential sector on one hand and implementing new technologies for decreasing GHG emission in term of decreasing energy consumption on the other hand are very important. By knowing this fact that for producing 1KWh energy in Sweden around 40g CO2 emission is released,in two million Swedish single family houses it is possible to capture around 800000 tonnes CO2 emission
