Abstract: The built environment contributes 37 per cent of global CO2 emissions, with almost half of this coming from energy used in buildings. How can all buildings, both old and new, become more sustainable and achieve net zero status? It takes the right technology and solutions, but also a fundamental understanding of what carbon emissions are and what they mean for the built environment. This paper defines the types of carbon, explores the difference between net zero carbon and zero carbon, and breaks down specific steps on how to strategise, digitise and measure the decarbonisation of a building.

Keywords: net zero buildings; zero carbon buildings; decarbonisation; digital solutions; buildings of the future; how to decarbonise a building (search for similar items in EconPapers)
