THE 2030 COMMITMENTA D D R E S S I N G C L I M AT E C H A N G E : A H E A LT H ,S A F E T Y, A N D W E L F A R E C R I S I SEach year design teams rally to report thousands of active projectsto the AIA 2030 Commitment program. Established in 2009, thevoluntary program asks architects, engineers, and the entire designprofession to take robust action to address climate change andto report their progress toward achieving a carbon neutral builtenvironment by the year 2030.In a normal year, the effort to report this progress is a commendableundertaking. This year—in the middle of a global pandemic, economicrecession, and some of the largest civil rights demonstrations in U.S.history1—the sustained support for collective climate action is evenmore remarkable. Between January and August 4, 2020, more than300 companies reported energy savings data from calendar year2019 for this report. AIA urges all members of the design communityto join these committed companies in climate action.Contributors to the program have shown how thousands of projectstogether can support the creation of a better, more sustainable builtenvironment. The data demonstrates that climate action is achievable,and that the 2030 Commitment program is the pathway for progress.In 2019 alone, 311 companies reported 3.3 billion square feet across107 countries to the 2030 Commitment’s Design Data Exchange(DDx). These projects accounted for an overall 49% predicted energyuse intensity (pEUI) reduction, which is equivalent to avoiding 20.2million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions relative to 2030baseline-equivalent buildings. That figure represents the same level ofcarbon that is sequestered by 26.4 million acres of forest in one year.Photo by Alto Crew on UnsplashA I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R S5

T H E 2 0 3 0 C O M M I T M E N T / Addressing climate change: A health, safety, and welfare crisisClimate change is a health,safety, and welfare crisis. Ignoringit would undermine our mostcritical professional responsibility:to protect our clients, ourcommunities, and our earth.The improvement is significant, but with the climate crisis escalating,more needs to be done. This year’s average weighted pEUIreduction—49%—is the best in 2030 Commitment history, but it isstill less than 70% of the fossil fuel and energy reduction target setfor active projects in 2019. With less than a decade left to meet ourindustry’s 2030 deadline, it is time for every company—and everydesign professional—to act.While there is no current scientific consensus suggesting adirect connection between climate change and the emergence ofCOVID-19, there is widespread recognition that climate changeadversely impacts health and infectious disease occurrence.2 Failureto address common root issues could make future pandemics morefrequent and more severe.The design industry must lead the way.A I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R SIn addition to threatening public health, climate change—itself anexistential threat—exacerbates systemic racial injustice and economiccrises3. Within the next four generations (by the year 2100), the earthcould warm by 3 degrees Celsius4, and the costs of this crisis will bedevastating—a loss to the global economy of 520 billion per yearto start5. Climate change also will mean heightened competition forresources such as land, food, and water, and it will mean additionalmass population displacement6.Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the degradation ofnatural resources are a direct result of increased carbon levels, whichthreaten national security in addition to the global economy7. Risingcarbon levels also disrupt the balance of ecosystems, underminepublic health, and threaten to transform our planet irreparably andcompromise our future.The multiplier effects of climate change are far-reaching. Communitiesof color are already disproportionately burdened by poor environmentalquality and may have limited access to information, resources, andinstitutions to prepare for and avoid the effects of climate change8. Inorder to prevent further loss of life, the design community must work evenharder to create a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable communities.The urban built environment isresponsible for 75% of annualglobal GHG emissions: Buildingsalone account for 39%.Source: Architecture 2030The consequences of climate change are alarming, but they are notinevitable. Globally, buildings account for 39% of total greenhousegas (GHG) emissions. The design industry is largely responsible foreliminating that output.Through their work, 2030 Commitment signatories make themessage clear that addressing climate change starts with the 2030Commitment, and it starts with just one project.

In short,to build a better world for future generations, signatorieshave committed to transform their practices to delivercarbon neutral buildings by 2030. They demonstrate theirprogress by reporting the design performance of their entireportfolio to AIA each year.AIA uses two easy-to-calculate metrics to gauge progress: Predicted energy use intensity (pEUI) for wholebuilding projects; and Predicted lighting power density (pLPD) for interioronly projects.90%CarbonNeutral202520302030AIA’s metrics, targets, and goals mirror those established byEd Mazria’s nonprofit Architecture 2030. In 2006, Mazriadelivered a bold challenge to the design community: Allnew buildings, developments, and major renovations shouldbe carbon neutral by 2030. Mazria’s challenge outlinedprogressively more challenging fossil fuel and energyreduction targets, including a 70% reduction in 2019 and80% reduction in 2020. Within six months of Mazria’schallenge, AIA adopted the challenge, paving the way to the2030 Commitment.11
THE 2030 COMMITMENTL A K E F L AT OHow to get started on a 2030 CommitmentLake Flato was one of the first design companies to sign onto the 2030 Commitment. Because the firm already had areputation for incorporating sustainability into design, the initiative was a natural fit for its architects. During that inceptionperiod, the company’s leaders met regularly with other firms to create action plans and to discuss how to best track and reportdata. “That work was foundational,” said Lake Flato Sustainability Director Heather Gayle Holdridge, Assoc. AIA.Today Lake Flato routinely advises design companies that want to make sustainability part of their normal practice. Holdridgesaid, “The program I always point these firms to is the 2030 Commitment. I tell them if they want to make this issue part of theirculture, AIA’s program is the tool to make that happen.”Another piece of advice Holdridge gives industry colleagues is that addressing climate change “is about each project, and itis about the whole portfolio.” Not every client will ask about sustainability, but if a firm makes it part of its consistent practice,those projects can also have a positive impact on efforts to reduce emissions and energy use.In 2019, Lake Flato was named Architecture magazine’s top firm in the United States, in part for its significant commitment tosustainability. In 2020, Lake Flato received two more COTE Top Ten Awards, for collaborations on the Austin Central Libraryand the Marine Education Center at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Mississippi.Check out The Habits of High-Performance Firms to learn more about Lake Flato’s sustainability efforts.Photos by Casey DunnA I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R S12

A DECADE OF PROGRESSL PA , I N C.Implementing the 2030 Commitment at scaleLPA, Inc., an integrated design firm with six offices in California and Texas, is the largest firm to exceed the 70% pEUI reductiontarget in 2019. In 2019 alone, LPA reported more than 6 million GSF, demonstrating that the 2030 Commitment can be met atscale. LPA also surpassed the target in 2018, reporting more than 5 million GSF across education, civic, and commercial projects.“The 2030 AIA Commitment has helped us clearly define our goals across the firm,” says LPA President Dan Heinfeld, FAIA.“Every designer understands the need to collaborate and work with the other disciplines from an early stage to hit the goals.”The nature and location of their practice offers distinct advantages. As an integrated firm, LPA is able to easily engage alldisciplines in project goal-setting and iteratively prototype and evaluate options through design. California’s rigorous BuildingEnergy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Parts 6 and 11) require energy modeling; in 2004 LPA implemented a firm-wide goal ofsurpassing Title 24 standards by 25% in all projects.Since joining the 2030 Commitment in 2011, LPA has optimized these inherent advantages by investing in staff education andinfrastructure. “We understood early in the process that added rigor and structure would be needed to ensure that every projectteam understood their baselines, set targets and measured progress,” observed Heinfeld. “That required additional educationand training to help project teams be successful.”Teams are encouraged to repeatedly revisit targets through the design process to track progress, study and compare designconcepts using a variety of tools, and learn from 2030 Commitment data across the firm. “The reporting data gives us a betterunderstanding of our strengths and weaknesses by creating a feedback loop,” shared Heinfeld. “It can also be shared with clientsto support performance innovation.”Check out Five tips for meeting the 2030 Commitment for more insights from the LPA team.Photos by Cris CosteaA I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R S16

When modeled, 40,000–60,000 sq. ft.office projects in Boulder are, on average, 29% more energy efficient than their non-modeledcounterparts. That improvement saves 133,400 kWh of electricity and nearly 14,200 each year.A I A 2 0 3 0 BY T H E N U M B E R SIn addition to codes, energy modeling is one ofthe best ways for the design industry to iterativelyquantify the impact its design decisions have onenergy use, compare design options, and determinepotential savings. In 2019 alone, projects thatused energy modeling were 32% more energyefficient than non-modeled projects. That means ifa company is not modeling, it is leaving real energyand costs savings for its clients on the table.When conducted early and often in the designprocess, energy modeling helps designers test designsolutions to cost-effectively optimize performancebeyond energy in order to improve occupant comfortand resilience.
