Description:
This simulation Illustrates the design of a zero energy building, i.e., a building which requires no energy from public utilities. A significant design component of the concept is to use natural sunlight to light interior spaces, as this displaces electrical energy for lighting fixtures. M0NT3D, Monte Carlo photon tracing code developed for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is extended to model daylighting for this simulation.
