Building

Performance Standard™ certification means taking responsibility for all carbon emissions associated with building operations, and eliminating climate impacts. Using utility and other data sources, this certification evaluates building performance annually.:

ZCB-Performance™ evaluates carbon emissions from normal building operations such as heating and cooling. It also accounts for potential refrigerant leaks and the embodied carbon of new structural and envelope materials. The Standard recognizes the value of renewable energy and high-quality carbon offsets while encouraging strategies that account for the ever-increasing demand on electrical grids..
