We recently shared KieranTimberlake's latest The American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2030 Commitment reporting, but wanted to frame it as part of a broader discussion on why our industry needs to shift focus to reducing carbon, not just energy. We asked Associate Kit Elsworth from our Research Group, and member of the National AIA 2030 Working Group for the past four years, to share some resources and lessons learned. As part of an ongoing dialogue, we look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions.
