At present, the buildings are account for about 40% of total global energy and also 1/3rd of GHG emissions. All buildings are having the provision of onsite renewable energy power generation, but unable to tap these resources in most of the cases. If, these resources can be tapped properly and integrated to the buildings will solve the problem of global energy shortage and also less impact on GHG emissions. In this paper, an analysis has been done by using HOMER software to estimate the capacity of onsite renewable energy sources and its integration to Zero Energy Buildings. Finally, an economical solution has been given towards integration of onsite renewable energy sources with any type of building and to make them as Zero Energy buildings.
