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.
