What is zero carbon?
Tebbit, John
What is zero carbon? - 2007 - Contract Journal 436(6608) 17 January 2007, 35(1) .
Attempts to clarify the various terms used in the zero carbon buildings debate. Defines zero carbon as absolutely no emissions of carbon dioxide and explains what this means for energy generation (use of solar, wind and hydroelectric) and for a building to be zero carbon. Also looks at the terms zero net carbon and carbon neutral, explaining how these can be achieved. Concludes by outlining the different levels in the "Code for sustainable homes" (L135998) and requesting clarity from government on the code and definitions.
