Zero Carbon Building – Design Standard (ZCB-Design) version 2 closed in 2022 with over 150 registrations. The sunset date to submit projects for ZCB-Design v2 certification is September 30, 2024. Projects must be submitted to CAGBC for certification review before this date. CAGBC will be reaching out to registered projects shortly to confirm their intent to certify next year.
