Component Updates
- Architects in the 2030 Commitment save more than 16 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. The AIA released 2030 By the Numbers, the 2016 progress report assessing the work of architecture firms that are part of the AIA 2030 Commitment. The commitment is a voluntary initiative to commit their practices to advancing the AIA's goal of carbon-neutral buildings by the year 2030. Read the highlights from the report:
- The potential energy savings from all 2016 projects represent approximately 16.7 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent of running almost five coal-fired power plants or powering 1.76 million homes for a year ( EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator).
- Projects reported an average predicted energy use intensity (pEUI) savings of 42 percent in 2016, climbing from 38 percent in 2015.
- 53 new firms joined the commitment in 2016, which creates a total of more than 400 firms participating in the effort.
