For more than 150 years, members of the American Institute of Architects have worked with each other and their communities to create more sustainable buildings and cityscapes. AIA members have access to the right people, knowledge, and tools to create better green design and, through such resources and access, are committed to reducing energy consumption in the built environment. Highlights
2030 Commitment
The AIA 2030 Commitment is a voluntary program for AIA member firms and other entities in the built environment. It asks these organizations to make a pledge, develop multi-year action plans, and implement steps that can advance AIA’s goal of carbon neutral buildings by the year 2030.
Building Product Summit Report
In October 2008, the AIA held a one and one-half-day summit on building products, during which manufacturers, architects, specifiers, contractors, and other stakeholders gathered to discuss the associated safety, life-cycle, and energy- and water-impact issues. Led by three expert moderators, the participants were divided into three groups, which rotated through discussions on these three areas of concern. We’ve compiled the results of the discussions and are now asking for feedback so we can continue this important discussion and share the results with those in the industry who are working in this complex field.
