Zero from CBRE transforms the way buildings and communities are designed, built and managed in order to reduce the overall impact of your portfolio on human well-being and the environment. Collaboration and communications are key to our green building solutions, ensuring all parties involved are on board with the approach to materials and suppliers to significantly reduce the embodied carbon of a project. Our green building solutions look holistically at a building’s life cycle: from site selection, planning and design to construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition.
