Building Enclosure magazine is proud to announce Amy Baker as the recipient of our 2024 Leadership Award. Founder of Amy Baker Architect, she has made significant contributions to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, advancing the practice of building enclosure design.
The latest 2030 By the Numbers report details the aggregate impacts of 23,276 project reported, including a 48 percent overall reduction in predicted (modeled) energy use intensity (pEUI) and 41.8 million metric tons of CO2 emissions avoided relative to baseline-equivalent buildings.
The American Institute of Architects published the newest edition of its annual 'By the Numbers' report, providing a detailed analysis of the energy performance of architecture and design firm signatories of the 2030 Commitment.
Building Enclosure had the pleasure of sitting down with Terry Swack, Founder and CEO of Sustainable Minds. Recently, Sustainable Minds announced a game-changing filter for its Transparency Catalog in collaboration with Health Product Declaration Collaborative and Perkins&Will.
An engineer in the fenestration energy analysis field shared information about Canada’s plans toward achieving net-zero energy by 2030 with participants at the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance Summer Conference in Vancouver, BC.
This actionable climate strategy provides a roadmap for reaching net zero emissions within the decade, and reinforces FCA’s ongoing commitment to strategies and best practices that work towards an inherently sustainable built environment.
Over 1,100 firms have joined the AIA 2030 Commitment to date. According to AIA's latest annual report AIA, 417 firms submitted data on 20,652 projects, accounting for a 50 percent decrease in predicted energy use intensity.
Unlike operational carbon, which can be reduced throughout a building’s lifetime, embodied carbon is locked in as soon as a building is constructed. As such, tracking embodied carbon is critical
Architects and engineers participating in the AIA’s 2030 Commitment are reporting the greatest reduction in predicted energy use in the program’s 10-year history.
