About the event

This AIAU live course breaks down the latest findings from the AIA 2030 Commitment By the Numbers 2025 report. Reviewing data from over 24,000 projects spanning 3.4 billion gross square feet, the session analyzes overall energy performance, the expanding use of energy modeling, and reporting trends for renewable energy, fuel sources, and embodied carbon. Presenters also explore practical strategies to improve portfolio efficiency and detail the program transition from historic CBECS 2003 baseline comparisons toward comprehensive total carbon reporting starting next year.

What you’ll learn

  • Explain the role of the AIA 2030 Commitment and the Design Data Exchange (DDx) in successfully integrating sustainability into firm practices to improve design outcomes and performance.
  • Describe high-level data trends across past years to show areas of improvement in renewable energy, building electrification, and embodied carbon data.
  • Identify key strategies for firms to improve their own portfolio's energy performance.
  • Describe how the 2030 Commitment's reporting metrics will evolve through 2030 and beyond, including the shift toward total carbon reporting, as well as enhanced embodied carbon and energy source reporting.
