Closing Statement

When Browning Day signed the AIA 2030 Commitment, it sparked a conversation about energy and carbon. We understand our work in a new way and we are now challenging ourselves to achieve continued improvement across our portfolio. Achievement in high performance building design and construction must be tethered in the feedback offered by building energy modeling - a practice that can be leveraged to test ideas and make better-informed decisions.

This action plan continues to change over time. Today, it serves as an information resource to ground our approach to design, it celebrates the hard work and achievement put forth by our project teams, and it edifies our commitment to continued improvement.

Moving forward, we want to expand the energy discussion into a carbon discussion as well. To that effect, we are looking for ways to not only track our portfolio’s operational carbon but also the embodied carbon of our work. We are Designers of Possibility - and as we march forward, we will continue to learn and grow.
