The next steps for a sustainable, decarbonized future

BD+C

Efficient projects don’t have to be dramatically more expensive; the payback on many projects for energy-efficient systems and renewable energy is often years, not decades. The AIA 2030 Commitment target is now an 80% average pEUI reduction from set baselines, an important step toward the ultimate goal of carbon neutrality.

Demystifying carbon offsets vs direct reductions

BDC Network

C above pre-industrial levels, as called for in the Paris Agreement, emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. And replacing older inefficient fossil-fuel heating equipment with electric heat pump systems may lower energy costs and will improve employee comfort through effective heating and cooling.

Virginia office complex achieves urban integration with inventive design

Construction Specifier

Rigorous analysis and simulation designed the envelope to meet the American Institute of Architects’s (AIA’s) 2030 challenge for efficiency and thermal performance. Design analysis estimates 40 percent of the year, the building should require neither heating nor cooling, via systems that can support occupant comfort.
