Abstract
According to the World Green Building Council, buildings and construction are responsible for 39% of the global carbon emissions related to energy generation. In Europe, buildings account for 40% of the energy demand and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, several frameworks and guidelines have been developed to achieve Net Zero Carbon Buildings in recent years. The term Net Zero Carbon describes a scenario in which anthropogenic removals of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere equal the amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emitted within a certain time frame. To achieve this state, emissions must be reduced and avoided, and those that remain must be captured at the source or removed from the atmosphere.
In this context, uncertainty has arisen about how to compensate or offset the remaining emissions to reach Net Zero, which underlines the need for further clarification and guidance
