RAIC accepts 2030 Challenge    www.2010imperative.org

expand story

The RAIC Board has agreed to be part of a movement which began at the RAIC Festival in Edmonton in 2005 with a speech from Ed Mazria FAIA, the founder of Architecture 2030. Many other groups, notably the AIA, the CAGBC and USGBC, the US Conference of Mayors, and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), have become involved and are supporting the idea of a phased approach towards a carbon neutral built-environment by 2030. The 2030 Challenge calls for all new buildings and major renovations to reduce their fossil-fuel greenhouse gas-emitting energy consumption by 50 per cent immediately, increasing this reduction to 60 per cent in 2010, 70 per cent in 2015, 80 per cent in 2020, 90 per cent in 2025, and finally, that all new buildings be carbon neutral by 2030. RAIC will be circulating support materials (postcards and talking points) for Architects to use with politicians, colleagues and clients.
