2030 Commitment annual progress reports
Recent IPCC reports clearly communicate the urgency to take substantial steps toward reducing our energy consumption and combating climate change—for our well-being and our environment. With roughly 40% of U.S. energy consumed by buildings, architects play a key role in making significant reductions in CO2 emissions.
The AIA 2030 Commitment offers architecture firms a way to publicly show their dedication and track progress toward a carbon-neutral future. Since 2009, participants in the 2030 Commitment have reported the performance of their firms' portfolios throughout each calendar year. The data, collected via the Design Data Exchange (DDx), includes building type, area, baseline operational energy use, predicted energy performance, and both operational and embodied energy metrics. Every year, AIA pulls together a topline analysis of firms' progress toward decarbonizing the built environment in an annual report.
