“Operational emissions” (7) is too lax. Developers may be able to exploit this to evade the net zero requirement. “Future-proofing” is not enough – carbon emissions have to be reduced over the next few years to have the necessary impact.
“Net Zero Carbon Buildings – Construction” is very disappointingly brief and unspecific – there should be clearer targets.
