OUR AIA 2030 COMMITMENT

Action Plan

On July 27, 2021, Johnson Fain signed on to the AIA 2030 Commitment program and it’s goal of carbon-neutral buildings. During the past 28 plus years of professional experience in the United States and overseas, Johnson Fain has established itself as an architecture, planning and interior design firm known for its creative approach to the built environment. We have embraced a sustainable approach to our philosophy and design process including how we operate as a firm.

Our role and duty as architects includes advocating for sustainable solutions in our projects, as well as the building industry, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the intent of limiting global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. Johnson Fain is committed to the larger sustainability mission as adopted by the 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris on December 12, 2015 and entered into force on November 4, 2016.
