In a recent article from Environmental Building News, Progress on 2030 Goals, Ten Years Later, learn from industry experts on how the building industry is progressing towards the 2030 Commitment’s aggressive goals. Andrea Love, our Director of Building Science, weighs in about the challenges facing firms reporting data and the positive response to the Design Data Exchange (DDx). While the DDx and other tools track data, those driving the movement towards the 2030 Commitment are truly changing culture, as Andrea Love discussed in an article with AIA Architect, “the 2030 Commitment is about changing the whole practice.”

With 14 years between now and the year 2030, what goals are you tracking? If you haven’t signed on yet, what’s holding you back?
