What is ZERO CARBON:
Taking an holistic approach to the minimisation of carbon emissions from a building by taking action to:
..Ensure energy efficiency.
..Use micro-generation and low or zero carbon energy technologies to move toward energy self-sufficiency of the building.
A Modern Evolution
The carbon emissions caused by the sourcing of materials and the construction of the building and its supporting infrastructure. A genuinely zero carbon building will payback the carbon invested in its construction through exporting zero carbon energy back into the national grid.
Advantages of Zero Carbon:
- Improved reliability and respect towards natural resources
- Extra cost is minimized for new construction compared to an afterthought retrofit
- Higher resale value as potential owners demand more ZEBs than available supply- Best planing and solution from future energy price increases
- Increased comfort due to more-uniform interior temperatures
- Reduced requirement for energy austerity
- Reduced total cost of ownership due to improved energy efficiency
- Reduced total net monthly cost of living
- The value of a ZEB building relative to similar conventional building should increase every time energy costs increase
- Future legislative restrictions, and carbon emission taxes/penalties may force expensive retrofits to inefficient buildings
- Utilization of more and more recycled products
- CSR by going green
- Step toward sustainable development
