The AIA Virginia Committee on the Environment (COTE) has been awarded a Knowledge Community Grant to present the 2030 Challenge series this summer to the members of AIA Virginia.
To help advance the AIA’s overall climate goals, Virginia COTE seeks to elevate understanding of the AIA 2030 Commitment, among architects and designers, and provide an actionable framework towards meeting the challenge goal of carbon-neutral building by 2030.
Watch your inbox and www.aiava.org for upcoming details on these lunchtime viewings and discussions. All sessions will be offered at no charge to AIA Virginia members and be 1.25 to 1.5 elective LUs (pending.)
The latest climate data tells us that merely reducing carbon emissions is not enough. To make the biggest impact, we must all commit to net zero emissions by 2030. And since the built environment creates a staggering 40% of the world’s emissions, architects, engineers, and owners play a key role. The AIA 2030 Commitment is an actionable climate strategy that gives us a set of standards and goals for reaching net zero emissions in the built environment.
To date, more than 1,200 firms have committed. Participants report the performance of their firm portfolios over each calendar year. The data, collected via the 2030 Design Data Exchange (DDx), includes building type, area, baseline energy performance, and predicted energy performance.
As of this writing, six years, and seven and a half months (about 2,420 days) remain on the “game clock”. More importantly, there is time on the clock. The game is not yet over. And there has been some good progress.
In 2021, 417 firms reported 20,653 projects with an average pEUI reduction of 50.3% for whole building projects and 32.5% pLPD reduction for interior only. See their progress in the latest annual report.
The Virginia firms that are committed to meeting the challenge are listed below. We celebrate and we cheer for them. May their example encourage others to join the fight. All of us need to help grow the roster and contribute.
