Most Green Buildings Aren’t Actually Carbon-Neutral, Experts Say. Many net zero homes under construction now aren’t even close to being carbon neutral, experts say, but by accounting for embodied carbon in building materials and being accountable for that pollution, builders can raise the bar for green building strategies of the future.
