About the event

Data Driven Approaches to Carbon Reduction in Design presents an online course exploring how integrated digital workflows help practitioners assess and cut the carbon impact of building projects. Attendees will examine how sustainability metrics, performance benchmarks, and digital analytical tools guide early and ongoing project choices. Presented in partnership with the Technology in Architectural Practice knowledge community, the live session highlights methods to evaluate design alternatives, meet regulatory and voluntary reporting obligations, and align practice workflows with industry initiatives like the AIA 2030 Commitment.

What you’ll learn

  • Identify how carbon-related performance data can be integrated into architectural design workflows to inform early and ongoing design decisions.
  • Explain how quantitative metrics, benchmarks, and carbon factors support the evaluation of design alternatives and environmental impact across project phases.
  • Describe how integrated digital workflows can support sustainability reporting and alignment with industry initiatives such as the AIA 2030 Commitment.
  • Evaluate how the use of connected design and analysis tools can support more informed decision-making while meeting professional responsibility for environmental stewardship.
