A legacy project of the CRC for Low Carbon Living, the Race to Net Zero Carbon guide brings together science based evidence on how the built environment can navigate urgently towards a net zero carbon future.

Race to Net Zero Carbon: A climate emergency guide for new and existing buildings in Australia builds on past work on strategies for sustainable low carbon design, the increasing cost effectiveness of both onsite and off-site renewable energy and places it in the context of ‘climate emergency’ thinking to engage built environment professionals in easy to use guidance towards net zero.

It takes a whole of life approach and includes both operational and embodied carbon in its guidance. It draws on Australian climate data and those from local tool managers like the widely recognised NABERS tool in establishing its benchmarks, targets and tools to deliver on its goals.

This guide is kept simple to be easily read and used and is a partner document to the accompanying book being published early 2022.
