ZCB fee

To obtain the Carbon Neutral Building Certification (ZCB Certification) for buildings, stores, or construction sites, applicants must pay the ZCB certification fee to the operating organization. Additionally, if needed, applicants can apply for ZCB technical support. If an applicant applies for and pays the technical support fee, they can receive various technical assistance related to achieving carbon neutrality from the operating organization.

ZCB Certification is the process through which applicants can obtain the ZCB Certification certificate and certification plaque (Main Certification). It is a mandatory step for those seeking ZCB Certification. After applying for ZCB Certification, applicants must submit documentation and supporting evidence to the certification body for the ZCB Certification assessment. The certification body reviews the documentation and evidence submitted by the applicant, conducts the certification assessment, may request additional information or clarifications, and performs on-site inspections (Main Certification) as part of the assessment process. This process involves a series of assessments and certifications, culminating in the determination of the final Carbon Neutral Building Index (ZCBI) result.

Prior to applying for ZCB Certification and to facilitate a smooth acquisition of ZCB Certification, applicants have the option to request ZCB Technical Support. This is an optional service available for those seeking ZCB Certification. ZCB Technical Support provides assistance in various carbon reduction technologies, including pre-assessment of carbon emissions and carbon reduction throughout the entire process, forecasting and evaluation of the Carbon Neutral Building Index (ZCBI), and estimation of the expected ZCB Certification grade.
