Shepley Bulfinch was one of 30 charter firms to sign up for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2030 Commitment Program, which was launched today at the AIA National Convention in San Francisco. The national initiative targets carbon neutrality in the built environment.
Shepley Bulfinch and other firms are working with the AIA to address the fact that buildings are the largest single contributor to the production of greenhouse gases. The AIA 2030 Commitment’s signatories make a pledge, develop multi-year action plans, and implement steps to advance the AIA’s goal of carbon neutral buildings by the year 2030.
Being among the first firms to sign up for the AIA 2030 Commitment is Shepley Bulfinch’s latest environmental initiative. Long known as a leader in the design of energy-efficient buildings, the firm was named among the Top 100 Green Design Firms in the US by Engineering News-Record in 2008. In addition to completing a number of LEED projects for clients, our own office and design studio received LEED-CI Silver certification in 2007. Shepley has been a member of the US Green Building Council since 2001 and is an EnergyStar partner.
