Guidance

Guidance for Zero Emissions Buildings (ZEB) is critical in providing a comprehensive framework for the design, construction, and operation of buildings that meet zero-emission standards. It ensures that the transition to sustainable, energy-efficient buildings is well-structured, achievable, and aligned with global sustainability goals. Guidance here focusses on two topics: Planning and Operations and Assessment, which work in tandem to support the effective implementation and long-term success of ZEB projects. Together, these phases form a continuous feedback loop that ensures ZEBs are not only designed to meet environmental targets but are also maintained and optimized for ongoing sustainability throughout their lifecycle. By providing clear and practical guidance in these areas, stakeholders are empowered to make informed decisions that lead to the successful implementation, operation, and continual optimization of ZEBs.
