Project Abstract
Design4Zero will support the decarbonisation of Ireland�s built environment across its full life cycle and put Ireland on a pathway to zero emissions buildings aligned with the proposed revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The project will develop a �Design for Performance Framework� and agree guidance targets benchmarks for the Irish market, focusing on energy and water in use and embodied carbon. The Framework will be widely disseminated through the industry, including through a comprehensive training programme for building designers. A stakeholder engagement process will ensure that tools developed are highly practical and implementable and will provide useful policy insights to the government, in particular to policymakers involved in the procurement, design, planning, housing, and the built environment.
