AIA 2030 Commitment By the Numbers (RY22): A Look into Firms’ Progress Towards Net Zero Emissions
What progress has more than 23,000 projects totaling 3.8 billion GSF designed last year made towards net-zero carbon? The AIA 2030 Commitment, a key climate action program, brings together a network of over 1,250 signatory architecture and design firms dedicated to tracking their projects’ energy data to reach carbon neutrality in the built environment. Upon this year’s release of the 2030 By the Numbers (RY22), join us for a conversation on the high-level findings from the report, including where we are succeeding as an industry and where we can still improve based on the reported data. We will discuss data trends on overall energy performance, the incorporation of energy modeling in projects, the inclusion of renewable energy sources as well as embodied carbon data.
