The Carbon Neutral Building (CNB) Standard is a certification program that recognizes buildings that have achieved net-zero carbon emissions. It evaluates the carbon emissions from a building's energy use, construction materials, and renovation activities, and requires that all emissions be offset through the purchase of renewable energy or other carbon offset projects. The CNB Standard aims to incentivize the construction of energy-efficient and sustainable buildings and promote the transition to a low-carbon economy. Buildings that meet the CNB Standard are recognized as leaders in the green building movement and contribute to global efforts to address climate change.
