2011 Position Statement Review

Public Policy
The creation and operation of the built environment require an investment of the earth's resources. Architects must be environmentally responsible and advocate for the sustainable use of those resources.

Supporting Position Statement:
42. Sustainable Built Environment

EXISTING LANGUAGE:
The AIA supports governmental and private sector policy programs, and incentives to encourage a built environment that embodies the advantages of sustainable architecture.

PROPOSED NEW LANGUAGE:  None
#42. Sustainable Built Environment Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree
Do you agree with this position statement?
Change sustainable architecture to be broader - "sustainable design practices". This will bring in landscape and infrastructure which are important parts of a sustainable built environment.
Add "resource-efficient" to the statement in front of sustainable.
