“The urban built environment is responsible for 75% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions: buildings alone account for 39%,” according to the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Reducing these emissions is pivotal to addressing the growing climate crisis. That’s why EwingCole signed on to the Architecture2030 Challenge.
It’s a commitment by 400 architecture firms to bring fuel consumption of all buildings to carbon neutral by 2030; a colossal undertaking. In this issue of Momentum, we look at the history of EwingCole’s commitment to sustainable design, how we created our most sustainable building to date, and what our team is doing today in the hopes of leaving a positive impact on future generations.
