2030 By the Numbers: The 2023 Summary of the AIA 2030 Commitment measures the annual performance of the architecture and design community toward its goal of carbon-neutral buildings by 2030. It includes data from the calendar year 2023 and suggestions for improving performance year to year.

With 40% of U.S. energy consumed by buildings, architects play a key role in making significant reductions in CO2 emissions. The AIA 2030 Commitment program offers architects a way to publicly show their dedication and track progress toward a carbon-neutral future. Since 2009, participants in the 2030 Commitment have reported the performance of their firm portfolios over each calendar year. The data, collected via the 2030 Design Data Exchange (DDx), includes building type, area, baseline energy performance, and predicted energy performance.
