Join Energy Trust and AIA Oregon for a panel discussion with AIA 2030 Signatories as part of the AIA Digital Design Series. The AIA 2030 Challenge calls on architects to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. In this session, signatory firms will share their history with the 2030 Challenge, barriers to reporting, best practices for analyzing and reporting data, and what’s next for them as they deepen their commitment to net zero carbon.

The panel will be an informal, facilitated discussion (without a PowerPoint deck!) and attendees will have any opportunity to ask practical questions about what it takes to go all in on the 2030 Challenge. Energy Trust will also share information about its Net Zero Emerging Leaders Internship, an annual grant program that provides funds to design firms to hire interns to support reporting requirements. If your firm is a recent 2030 signatory or considering becoming one, this discussion is for you.

Matt Bokar, Net Zero Emerging Leaders Internship Mentor

Erica Dunn, senior associate, Opsis

Lindsey Naganuma, architectural designer, SERA

Elin Shepard, outreach manager, Energy Trust New Buildings
