	A net zero carbon building is one with net zero whole life emissions. This includes both operational and embodied emissions. Operational emissions should be near zero. Embodied emissions from the product and construction phases should be measured, minimised, and offset at practical completion. This guide focuses on what building professionals need to understand about embodied emissions as part of creating a net zero built environment.
