Be Energy Smart: An Update on the 2030 Commitment by Marya Graff, Assoc. AIA
For four years running, the AIA Chicago 2030 Working Group has compiled project data from multiple firms. Each year we paint a picture of how our collective work fares in terms of design energy performance, and employment of practices which foster energy literacy. This Spring, we collected design work data from 18 local offices. This was the highest level of participation to date, and we aim for even more next year.
Sharing is easy. Signatory firms to the AIA 2030 Commitment collect data annually, and submit a summary to the AIA each March. The AIA Chicago 2030 Working Group takes this a step further by compiling not only summary information but enough source data to enable analysis by building sector, project size, etc.
Of course, we have a very long way to go before carbon neutral design is standard practice. Advancing our understanding of the role of energy in our design work is the first step. Elevating the topic of energy for all our projects, not just a few exemplary ones, is an important feature of the Commitment.
Make sure that your firm is part of our progress; join the AIA 2030 Commitment today!
Contact Joan Pomaranc at AIA Chicago to request a discussion in your office about the AIA 2030 Commitment, what it means to be a signatory, the amount of effort involved, and the benefits to signatory firms.
