Stewart Issues Call to Action for
2030 Carbon Emissions Targets

Provision to reduce the carbon footprint
of federal buildings

AIA President RK Stewart, FAIA, issued a call to action from the AIA national convention floor May 4 for AIA members to contact their U.S. senators to support legislation that would reduce the amount of energy used in new and significantly renovated federal buildings. The measure would require an immediate 50 percent reduction, with further reductions every five years until all new and renovated federal buildings are carbon neutral by 2030.
