2030 Challenge
The 2030 Challenge is a worldwide initiative aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable architectural design and building practices.
The challenge, issued in January 2006 by Architecture 2030, a non-profit organization in the United States, calls for reduced energy consumption, and an elimination of fossil fuel energy use in all new buildings, developments and major renovations by the year 2030.
In Canada, the challenge was adopted in 2007 by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and taken up in Alberta in the same year by Edmonton’s Manasc Isaac Architects Ltd. For more details, visit:
