Architects Join Forces with Industry Leaders to Combat Climate Change
San Francisco, Calif. -- The American Institute of Architects (AIA) joined forces with design and building leaders in San Francisco at the Carbon Smart Building Day event to strengthen the industry’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gases in the built environment.
"The architectural profession has had success demonstrating building models and technology, but scaling up carbon-smart building practice is the central challenge,” said Carl Elefante, 2018 AIA president. “We need elected officials to support policies and programs that incentivize carbon-smart buildings. If we’re going to meet our future carbon goals, we’ll need the investment in resources and research today to get us there.”
