Zero carbon buildings have a net zero amount of carbon
emissions associated with their annual energy demand. This can
be achieved by:
Implementing energy efficiency improvements
to reduce energy demand
Meeting energy needs with on- or off-site zero-carbon,
renewable energy sources (and where necessary:
high-quality, certified, and preferably local offsets)
Electrification of building space and water heating and
digitalization to provide needed flexibility
Using energy storage systems (in combination with solar
panels or wind turbines)
In some locations, taking a district- or portfolio-level
approach to a combined net zero carbon result
