L E A D E R S / Local impact“My local 2030 ‘huddle’ is a form of authentic support fromothers at signatory firms striving to design to reach the 2030Commitment targets. It reminds me that we are all committedtogether to respond to climate urgency.”Gwen Fuertes, AIA, LEED AP BD CLMSAA I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R SFrom Boston and New York, to Pittsburgh and Chicago, to Seattle and San Francisco, 2030 signatories areworking to mobilize collaboration on a regional and local scale. These groups—whether informal peer-topeer support networks or more formal AIA committees—are building a culture that promotes energy andemissions savings in design. In 2018, these groups worked to push zoning incentives for energy-efficientbuildings, advocate for code improvements, support renewable energy, and participate in pilot programs.Utilities and state-based energy organizations also recognize the value of 2030. In 2018, Energy Trustof Oregon piloted an internship program to assist five Oregon-based firms in reporting projects andhitting energy targets. As a result of the program, for these five firms the weighted average EUI reductionimproved from 41% in 2017 to 43% in 2018 and the number of reported projects more than tripled.12

L E A D E R S / 2030 in practicePAY E T T EAs AIA’s 2019 Architecture Firm Award recipient, Boston-based Payette has earned a reputation for its innovative, complexdesign work focused on academic science and health care facilities—building types known for high energy demands. The firmhas long worked to integrate performance with design, which made joining the 2030 Commitment in 2011 an easy choice—and one that has helped the firm further embed sustainable design throughout its practice.“It’s not just a few exemplar projects,” explains Andrea Love, AIA, principal and director of building science. “Everyoneunderstands that we as a firm have made the commitment, and so in every project, they now have a responsibility to try tomeet that target. It also helps us build energy literacy across the board and makes energy use a key part of how we talk aboutprojects both internally and to clients.”Payette has also shared the firm’s experience in operationalizing the 2030 Commitment with area peers via the Boston 2030discussion group and mentoring. “We’ll all be better if we’re all participating in the 2030 Commitment,” says Love. “It’s a healthysense of competition that pushes us to design high-performing, beautiful buildings and move toward the 2030 targets.”A I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R S14
