Review a case study of an ultra-low-energy building or a net zero energy building. Identify the strategies in the building that contribute to its passive performance. Determine if the heating and cooling systems are centralized or distributed. Make an assessment of whether the HVAC system has been designed to complement the passive design of the building. Determine the floor area percentage devoted to mechanical equipment rooms.
