As 2030 looms around the corner, the pressure is building around ensuring that buildings are net zero by the impending deadline.

Whether your firm is one of the many that have already signed on to the 2030 commitment or you are looking to begin your 2030 commitment journey, the first step of registering is the right step in the net zero direction.

But what comes next? How do you do it all?

What You Need for the 2030 Commitment?

To achieve the 2030 commitment, you should take the following steps:

1.       Gather Project Data: Compile information on your project's energy use, including Energy Use Intensity (EUI).

2.       Calculate Key Metrics: Use tools like cove to calculate EUI and carbon emissions for your project.

3.       Access DDx Platform: Log in to the AIA's DDx platform.

4.       Enter Project Data: Input your project's energy data into the DDx system.

5.       Update Additional Information: Add any other required details, such as cost-related data.

6.       Submit Report: Finalize and submit your report through the DDx platform.

7.       Regular Updates: Continuously update and track your project's progress over time.

With limited resources and architects already struggling to balance the magnitude of projects, suddenly, the 2030 commitment is feeling like a 2030 hassle.

You could hire a sustainability consultant, but that’s a major cost and takes time to both hire the consultant and for the consultant to complete the work.

You could wait till March 31st of the following year to try to get all your projects ready for the 2030 commitment.

Or we could do the work for you.
