Zero Net Carbon Collaboration for Existing and Historic Buildings

Zero Net Carbon Collaboration for Existing and Historic Building

Existing and heritage buildings need to be involved in the climate conversation.

We aim to rapidly accelerate achievement of ZNC for the existing and historic built environment, accounting for both embodied and operational emissions. We monitor technological development and coordinate best practices for the ZNC rehabilitation of existing buildings to facilitate the responsible reuse of built resources.

Mission & Goals

The ZNCC is a strategic alliance committed to:

Coordinating/monitoring technology development and integration for, and providing a unified resource for, the goal of responsibly bringing historic places to Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) and;
Accelerating the ZNC of existing and historic buildings and places, accounting for both embodied carbon and operational carbon emissions, through developing leadership in best practices for the ZNC rehabilitation of most existing buildings, and in the responsible re-use of built resources in general.
