The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) released a report in 2023 highlighting the challenges and opportunities in achieving net-zero operational status for buildings. The absence of standardized emissions reporting measurements complicates regulatory compliance and the establishment of clear definitions for net-zero buildings. WBCSD advocates for a globally consistent definition to distinguish net-zero buildings, a move that could attract investments and drive market growth. However, uncertainties persist regarding measurement standards and regulatory frameworks. With climate disclosure rules and proposed definitions by the Biden Administration, the focus is on securing facilities management contracts that promote proactive monitoring and contribute to low-carbon operations. Despite challenges, increasing renewable energy adoption and heightened awareness of emissions impacts signal progress towards sustainable building practices.

Important move to tackle the important #emissions from #buildings. The #EU has formally adopted the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (#EPBD), with new rules aimed at reducing #energy use and emissions from buildings across the EU, including targets for all new #buildings to be #zeroemissions by 2030, and to phase out the use of #fossilfuels in building #heating systems by 2040. This is great and should be replicated elsewhere along with pushing for longevity. The fact is that buildings stand on average 70 years in #Europe as opposed to much shorter lifespans in other parts of the world ESG Today

Someday, net-zero energy buildings will be the standard for institutional and commercial facilities, not the exception. The number of such facilities is increasingly rapidly, and recent action by the federal government is likely to push the pace even more. #esg #sustainability #facman
