Decarbonization Award

Recognizing a greater need for the built environment to use less energy in construction, material use and occupied energy consumption, AIA Chicago developed the Decarbonization Award. This award recognizes projects that have gone above and beyond base level energy reduction goals and showcases those project vanguards that exemplify the profession’s abilities to pursue the goals of the 2030 Commitment while also upholding the functional and aesthetic goals of the design.
