“…The real data of case study is analyzed to validate the model's efficiency in order to design net-zero energy buildings. energy efficiency through lowering maintenance costs, gas emissions, creating job opportunities, and enhancing health [8,9,10,11,12,14,15]. Therefore, through expanding technology, transforming and storing thermal pumps, combining heat-power systems, and using renewable energy resources with solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass technologies, it is possible to achieve a sustainable future [11].…”

“…When Eqs. (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), and (11) are substituted in Eq. (3), the total value of the energy consumed by the cooling and heating systems during the NZEB lifespan (PV EC ) will turn into a nonlinear equation, hence, it should be linearized which is presented in Section 2-5.…”

“…About 30% of the CO 2 emissions are due to the energy consumption in buildings [3,8] while about 6% of the total emitted pollutants are because of the households' fuel consumptions; hence, a reduction in buildings' environmental impacts can lead to significant environmental benefits [9]; however, appropriate methods to achieve this reduction are almost unknown. Building retrofitting and using efficient renewable energy systems can reduce the energy consumption demand in buildings, greenhouse gas emissions, and the related required investments [10,11]. Controlling the buildings' in-and-out airflows and insulation of the windows, walls, and ceilings to reduce the energy consumption demand, can increase the heat efficiency and comfort because buildings that use insulated materials store more energy than usual.…”

Energy is vital recourse for economic development of today's business. The services demanded of residential and commercial buildings require substantial energy use. Energy consumption in this sector has been growing in total, gradually. As a result the high emission of greenhouse gases is released and, hence, the saving energy with better building management have made a major priority of the energy and environment sectors throughout the world. In this direction, to reduce energy consumption and mitigate environmental impacts in buildings, net-zero energy buildings (NZEB) is a very effective solution. As a result, a multi-objective model is developed to identify the best combination of materials and construction options considering their related costs, energy efficiency, and environmental impacts of buildings, simultaneously. This sustainable model is presented to construct a building considering the construction costs and energy consumption of the design options. To design the NZEB, while minimizing costs and carbon emissions, use has been made of a combination of different types of active/heating and cooling systems and renewable equipment through such high-efficiency, effective, and updated technologies as the solar panel. Finally, the case study of a residential building with two scenarios is used to demonstrate the proposed framework. The results show that, for scenarios1 and 2 respectively using insulation thickness such as (wall, roof, and windows) and renewable equipment have the highest sustainable impact in NEBZ's performance.

“…The method involves converting the total energy cost to the present value based on N years of lifetime, through multiplying it by means of the present worth P 1 which can be defined as the ratio of the life cycle fuel cost savings to the fuel cost savings of the first year. P 2 value is obtained as the rate of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) expenses incurred due to an additional capital investment . Equations for P 1 and P 2 are defined as [EIFFER]:…”

Renewable insulation materials are produced within the scope of this study using clay, fly ash, expanded perlite, epoxidized hemp oil, and hemp fiber. Density, thermal conductivity, and compressive‐tensile strength of the produced materials are analyzed. Economic and environmental analysis of the best sample with the most appropriate characteristics for an insulation material is conducted using a hybrid mathematical model developed for this study. Mathematical formulas of an economic evaluation technique of P1‐P2 method is integrated into Simulated Annealing Algorithm as one of the metaheuristic optimization approaches. Applicability of the proposed material for externally insulated walls is tested. For this purpose, optimum insulation thickness, payback period, energy savings for 10 years of lifetime, and CO2‐SO2 emissions were calculated for 5 types of energy sources along with a sensitivity analysis. This method is developed and coded in a software platform and used for the first time for the optimization of insulation material thickness. The experimental results obtained from evaluation of the sample H36 indicate that using this material for insulation purposes in the buildings have the potential of making significant contribution for energy efficiency along with various environmental benefits.
