Zero Carbon Building: A Step Toward Sustainable Development in Canada

The climate crisis demands innovative approaches to reduce carbon emissions, and Canada is rising to the challenge. The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has introduced the Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) standards, a pioneering framework designed to decarbonize Canada’s building sector and help meet the country’s climate commitments. These standards offer a roadmap for creating energy-efficient, low-carbon buildings that minimize greenhouse gas emissions. But what exactly does it mean for a building to achieve zero carbon, and how do the ZCB standards support this transition?
