TO REACH AMBITIOUS ENERGY TARGETS, FIRMS MUST DIG DEEPER

摘要

In light of the positive news from AIA concerning progress toward its 2030 Commitment targets, it's nice to see the AEC community showing resolve in this highly charged, post-Paris Climate Accord pullout political environment. The number of firms involved in AIA's voluntary pact to slash energy consumption in buildings grew to more than 400 in July. A select number of design practices have already exceeded the initiative's ambitious target of a portfolio-average predicted energy savings of 70% or greater. To date, more than 330 individual projects designed by 2030 Commitment signatories met or exceeded this target.
