Explanation
Zero minus manifest defines the protocols of monitoring the projects of renovation and building of objects. The protocol respects and contains three basic requirements: to meet high energy efficiency, to reach high ecologic standards and to create healthy living environments.
All three abovementioned goals can be reached and monitored at the time of creating this manifesto, but they are combined into a complete trinity during monitoring in each project of building or renovating.
