The American Institute of Architects (AIA), through its Committee on the Environment, Sustainability Task Force, and collaborations with government agencies and professional associations, works to advance, disseminate, and advocate design practices that integrate built and natural systems and enhance both the design quality and environmental performance of the built environment. The AIA High Performance Building Position Statement promotes integrated/high performance design including resource conservation resulting in a minimum 50% or greater reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels used to construct and operate new and renovated buildings by the year 2010 and promote further reductions of 10% or more in each of the following 5 years.
