In 2005, Architecture 2030 issued the 2030 Challenge. The initiative comprised incremental carbon reduction goals over a 25-year timeline that were consistent with those called for by the global scientific community at the time. Meeting the targets would mean that all new buildings and major renovations would be zero carbon by 2030.
However, current data from the scientific community has made it clear that 2030 is too late. To meet the 1.5°C carbon budget, all new buildings and major renovations must be designed to be zero carbon today. learn more here
Achieving zero emissions from new construction will require energy efficient buildings that use no on-site fossil fuels and are 100% powered by on-site and/or off-site renewable energy.
