Zero-carbon housing is a term used to describe a house that does not emit greenhouse gasses, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere. Homes release greenhouse gases through burning fossil fuels in order to provide heat, or even while cooking on a gas stove. A zero carbon house can be achieved by either building or renovating a home to be very energy efficient and for its energy consumption to be from non-emitting sources, for example electricity.
According to a 2020 UN report, building and construction practices are responsible for ~38% of all energy-related carbon emissions.[1] For this reason, the building industry is finding alternative means and methods to reduce the amount of emissions that are associated with both the construction process and the day to day operations to maintain buildings.
