Zero Net Carbon Collaboration

There are some exciting partnerships brewing and we’re looking forward to being involved with the Zero Net Carbon Collaboration (ZNCC).

This strategic alliance is 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.

“The Collaboration was initially formed in October 2017 by 5 partner organizations who include (subject to MOU finalization):

• Association for Preservation Technology International (APT):

  • APT Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation (TCSP);

• American Institute of Architects (AIA):

  • AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE);

  • AIA Heritage Resources Committee (HRC):

• Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC)

  • RAIC Committee on Regenerative Environments (CORE)

• International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS);

• Architecture 2030.”

This organization is going to continue pushing for improving the performance of historic places and we’re excited to be a part of it! Here’s a link if you’d like to learn more: http://znccollaboration.org/
