AECB CarbonLite - specification
Funded by the Carbon Trust, the AECB’s CarbonLite Programme draws on over 20 years of expertise of constructing low carbon buildings – both from within the AECB membership and from successful low energy programmes in Canada and Europe - especially the German Passivhaus movement. The AECB CarbonLite standards use simple Passivhaus design principles, combined with emphasis on energy-efficient white goods and appliances, to achieve genuinely low carbon buildings.
