For firms who have signed the AIA Materials Pledge, the reporting deadline is May 31. On Earth Day, the Boston Society for Architecture Committee on the Environment will host a virtual panel of architects and designers to discuss the Materials Pledge. Flad's Jodie Thill will sit on the panel to discuss Flad's process in committing to, implementing, and reporting on the AIA A&D Materials Pledge.

This continuing education course will focus on how firms research, optimize, and specify building materials through the lenses of human health, social health, ecosystem health, and climate health. Flad has signed the AIA Materials Pledge, underscoring a commitment to lasting change and materials that support a circular economy. Reporting contributes to the field’s broader knowledge, thereby improving the impact of building materials for occupant and worker well-being.
