Sustainability

The AIA is committed to promoting sustainable design practices. The organization has several initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of buildings and promoting sustainable architecture. These include the AIA 2030 Commitment, which challenges architecture firms to design carbon-neutral buildings by the year 2030. The AIA also provides resources and education on sustainable design, including guidelines for energy-efficient building practices and materials.

However, specific details on the AIA's own carbon footprint or sustainability certifications are not readily available.
