title = "Evaluating the potential of high performance concrete 3D-printing for zero energy homes",
abstract = "This simulation-based case study explores the potential of concrete 3D printing for a Net Zero Energy housing unit. Three building envelope scenarios will be compared to analyze the insulating capacity of concrete 3D printed walls and the predicted energy consumption. The expected utility costs are calculated based on the energy value in the Midwest region of the United States. This paper discusses the potential energy savings with the implementation of renewable energy systems. The analysis is limited to the predicted monthly utility bills to determine which of the scenarios is economically viable within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's standards for affordability.",
