The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is committed to developing and promoting the means to reach at least a 50% carbon emission reduction by 2010 and carbon neutral buildings by 2030. This exciting challenge offers many opportunities for integrated, high-performance, environmentally-conscious buildings that will become valued assets for future generations. How do we get to carbon neutrality from buildings? The SustAIAnability2030 Toolkit herein is a virtual connection to resources and examples that demonstrate the greening of our built environment.
