Zero-Carbon Building (ZCB) standards

A made-in-Canada solution

Aimed at decarbonizing all buildings in Canada, Zero-Carbon Building (ZCB) standards apply to all industrial, commercial and residential buildings in the country.

These standards offer a stringent yet flexible framework, guiding the design and sustainable performance of new buildings or building renovations with the objective of eliminating carbon emissions.

ZBC Standards

Obtaining our first BCZ-Design certification in 2024 marks a key milestone in our journey. It inspires us to aim for ever higher standards. Discover the rigorous requirements of the BCZ standards.

Zero-Carbon Building

A high energy performance that minimizes greenhouse gas emissions from its operation and the production of its materials.

*Until all emissions are eliminated, carbon credits can be used as an offset measure.

One certification, two routes

The ZCB program is split into two categories: design standards and energy performance standards.

MONTONI's team of experts can help you achieve carbon neutrality as regards to both the design and functionality.
