AIA Supports US Investment in National Infrastructure
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) applauds enactment of the bipartisan infrastructure bill that will allow the U.S. to make meaningful advancements towards building a more resilient and sustainable built environment.
"This bipartisan legislation affirms AIA’s long-held contention that buildings are infrastructure,” said AIA 2021 President Peter Exley, FAIA. “It is encouraging to see Congress make meaningful investment in building sector energy efficiency and resilience. While the infrastructure deal is an important step forward for our nation, more needs to be done if we are going win in this race against time for our planet. We continue to urge Congress to support the significant climate investments contained in the Build Back Better bill, as well as aggressive emissions reduction commitments at COP26 that will combat climate change.”
