Near-Net Zero Energy Building at ERDI-CMU: A practical testbed for a clean energy future, addressing CMU’s greenhouse gas emission reduction measures.
The Energy Research and Development Institute (ERDI-CMU) has developed an energy-efficient prototype building, integrating smart technologies to achieve a concrete “Near-Net Zero Energy Building.”
Renewable Energy and Integrated Energy Management System
Solar panels are installed on the roof of the building, generating 144 kW of electricity.
The system boasts a 97% efficiency and includes a battery system for energy storage.
The building’s electricity is precisely controlled, requiring only 20 kW of lighting and 100 kW of air conditioning at 25°C.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations support future clean mobility.
Smart Energy Monitoring System
Tracks energy production and usage in real time.
Comprehensive coverage:
Solar energy
Battery system
Air conditioning system
Building control system
Chiller system (university-wide)
EV charging station
A significant step towards a low-carbon university.
This building is not just an office, but a “demonstration system” demonstrating that clean energy concepts can be realized and scaled up at the university level.
This is another step reflecting CMU’s commitment to sustainable energy development for an environmentally friendly future.
