• The heartbreaking crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic brings with it a rare opportunity for the architecture, planning, and building community. We know the pandemic is already changing the way we live and conduct business, affecting the way we will design and ultimately the way we will build. Now is the time to deepen our motivation and expand our actions-designing buildings with no on-site fossil fuels; shifting to carbon positive buildings, materials, construction, and infrastructure; implementing building decarbonization; creating clean energy jobs; integrating passive design strategies and renewable energy in projects; and designing to keep people safe during climate catastrophes and pandemics.
