When does my firm have to start reporting?

Once your firm has signed onto the 2030 Commitment, we strongly encourage you to start inputting projects soon after. These can be test projects or relatively straightforward ones, so you're able to get acquianted with the DDx platform. You can find past recordings of our Open Office Hours that walk through inputting a project on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@CommitmentAIA/videos. Depending on when in the year your firm signed on, you may have a couple projects input to test the waters and able to submit by the March 31st deadline. Otherwise, your firm's second year within the program (or first full year) is when you are required to start reporting projects.

When is the 2030 reporting deadline?

The 2030 reporting deadline is always March 31st!

Do my projects or entire portfolio have to make the 80% pEUI reduction goal?

No, you do not need to meet the current 80% pEUI reduction goal. The majority of firms do not meet the target reduction across their entire portfolio. The 2030 Commitment emphasizes maintaining progress across a firm's reporting years, whether that's increasing number of projects reported as well as energy performance.

Is my data anonymous?

Yes! We will never publish one specific project or firm's data without their consent. All the data published and in the 2030 By the Numbers report is aggregated and anonymous.

If we are not the prime architect and are a consultant on a project (landscape arch, sustainability analysis or certification), should we include or exclude the project from our portfolio (assuming the prime architect should be reporting it)?

We have this discussion internally all the time. Our rule of thumb is that if we're substantially responsible for the building design, we'll go ahead and report it. But if the architect of record is a signatory, we would expect that they would report, especially if your scope is limited to landscape design and sustainable consulting. In the future, we are developing a new firm to firm collaboration tool so that multiple firms are able to claim credit for a single project without that project being double counted.
