Towards Sustainable Construction: Proposing Net Zero Energy-Water Retrofit Measures For CECOS University Building In Pakistan

Objectives

To tackle Pakistan's energy crisis, we aim to implement Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) principles using locally produced, on-grid clean energy to boost efficiency. For water scarcity, we'll adopt Net Zero Water Building (NZWB) strategies, incorporating recycling and reuse systems to cut water consumption.

Socio-Economic Benefit

CECOS University can save up to 63 million PKR in energy bills over three years (21 million PKR annually). The building will be more sustainable with a reduced carbon footprint. Rainwater harvesting can meet 91% of the university's water needs, and up to 40% of grey water can be reused monthly for toilet flushing, gardening, watering lawns, or groundwater recharge.

Methodologies

Research & Analysis: Studying existing buildings Exploration of latest energy and water technologies Evaluation of design’s cost-effectiveness Design phase: Propose Retrofit measures Adjustments for enhanced efficiency
