Learn MoreThe ZERO Code is a national and international building energy standard for new construction that integrates cost-effective energy efficiency standards with on-site and/or off-site renewable energy resulting in Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) buildings.
Learn MoreThe Carbon Smart Materials Palette is an immediately applicable, high-impact pathway to embodied carbon reductions in the built environment. It identifies key attributes that contribute to a material’s embodied carbon impact, and offers guidelines and options for emissions reductions.
Learn MoreThe ZERO Code for California is a California building energy standard for new construction that integrates cost-effective energy efficiency standards with on-site and/or off-site renewable energy resulting in Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) buildings.

Learn MoreThe China Zero Net Carbon Professional Training Program was the first ever to prepare architects, building sector professionals, and future trainers from all parts of China in the design of Zero Net Carbon buildings and developments.
This requires achieving zero carbon emissions from:
Our work
the building sector to achieve this goal through:
Our
include the following:
A framework of integrated policies for national and sub-national governments to phase out CO2 emissions in the built environment by 2050.
National and International building energy standard for new construction resulting in zero-net-carbon buildings.
A calculator to determine an existing or new buildings’ progress to Zero Net Carbon, based on location, building type and size.
Chinese and International firms designing cities, towns, developments and buildings to low carbon/carbon neutral standards.
Planning and design guides for sustainable and resilient buildings, communities and cities worldwide.
Online and in-person professional education series for high-performance/carbon neutral building design.
An attribute-based approach to, and design guidance for, embodied carbon reductions in the built environment.
A competition recognizing exemplary design in reducing energy and emissions, and addressing adaptation and resilience in the built environment.
