2030 and Beyond: AIA & Architecture 2030’s Work Towards Net Zero Emissions
Explore the latest progress and challenges in meeting the 2030 climate targets as leaders from AIA 2030 Commitment and Architecture 2030 unveil new data-driven reports and outline critical industry actions for reducing building-sector emissions.
About the live course
Now five years away from the year 2030, leaders from AIA 2030 Commitment and Architecture 2030 come together on this panel to discuss where progress is being made in the buildings sector and where needs improvement. Speakers will chart the history of Architecture 2030, the AIA 2030 Commitment, and then outline what specific actions are needed from the industry to mitigate the worst emissions pathways. In doing this, they will deep dive into two new reports, the AIA 2030 By the Numbers (RY24) and Architecture2030’s 2030 Beyond the Numbers (RY24), that analyze the reported predicted energy data from over 450 AIA 2030 Commitment signatory firms that culminate to >40k projects and 4 billion gross square feet (GSF).
- Learn the historical data trends of building sector emissions and the role of the architect to decarbonize the industry.
- Understand the role of the Architecture 2030, the AIA 2030 Commitment, and the Design Data Exchange (DDx) in successfully integrating sustainability into firm practice.
- Describe high-level data trends from both reports, the AIA 2030 By the Numbers and Architecture2030’s 2030 Beyond the Numbers.
- Identify key strategies for firms to improve their own portfolio’s energy performance.
