Mark McKenna

The global push towards developing Net Zero Buildings (NZEB) has already begun – but the definition of NZEB remains unclear to many within the property sector. Terms such as ‘zero carbon’, ‘net zero energy’ and ‘zero energy’ are used interchangeably and yet all provide a different outcome.
