This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Someone conflated Net Zero with Zero Carbon with edits in June 2024. Roll back the article to its state in 2023, and remove the Net Zero content to Net zero home. These are two separate but related concepts. IT is wrong to conflate them. We already have a separate article for Low-energy house. (June 2024) |
Zero-carbon housing is housing that does not emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs) into the atmosphere, either directly (Scope 1), or indirectly due to consumption electricity produced using fossil fuels (Scope 2). Most commonly zero-carbon housing is taken to mean zero emissions of carbon dioxide, which is the main climate pollutant from homes, although fugitive methane may also be emitted from natural gas pipes and appliances.
