Part I: Sustainable Action Plan

AIA 2030 COMMITMENT

Siegel & Strain Architects is a proud signatory of the American Institute of Architects 2030 Commitment, a national initiative to track energy use reductions for all new building with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Since its start, the reduction target has been steadily increased. Currently, the goal is a 70% reduction in energy use compared to similar buildings. The goal will increase to 80% in 2020, 90% in 2025 and finally 100% in 2030. The platform allows firms to compare data, best practices and energy use from around the nation. In 2016, signatory firms achieved a national average of 42% energy use reduction vs the national average, short of our goal, but an increase from previous years.

Our goal: Hit the target of 70% reduction versus the national average.

ENERGY MODELING AND PERFORMANCE DRIVEN DESIGN

We hold ourselves accountable and ensure our projects perform as intended. Beyond the 2030 goals of energy use reduction, we track 80 different data points on a range of sustainability goals including cost, energy, building envelope, lighting, water, materials and site.  When possible, we collect post occupancy data to compare how our projects perform. Some of the modeling criteria we perform includes:
  • Life Cycle Analysis
  • Daylighting
  • Energy Modeling, auditing and benchmarking
  • Building Assembly Analysis
  • Water Conservation Analysis
Our Goal: Track and compare data points on all incoming projects. Perform energy modeling at the conceptual stage of every projects.
