Net Zero

Our goal is to achieve 100% net-zero ready energy use, water use and embodied carbon emissions by 2030 and 100% regenerative energy, regenerative water and regenerative embodied carbon emissions by 2050. We leverage passive design strategies including proper orientation, shading and natural ventilation to reduce the building’s energy and carbon use as strategically as possible. Subsequent energy needs are derived from renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaics and solar thermal. Firmwide, we are committed to measuring, tracking and reporting this data through the 2030 Challenge and AIA 2030 Commitment programs.
