Members of Congress are still deciding what to include in the infrastructure package and are about to adjourn for the August recess. Please act NOW!

"If we act now, we can upgrade America's buildings to make them more resilient to structural threats and to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions," said AIA 2021 President Peter Exley, FAIA, in an article published in The Hill "That's why it's critical the infrastructure debate move beyond the proverbial roads and bridges to prioritize buildings: homes, schools, hospitals, offices, and civic centers."

This package could be a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring to scale the contemporary planning, building materials, design, construction, and operational techniques that make our communities more resilient and our buildings more energy efficient.

Please email or tweet a message to your members of Congress now, and ask them to include federal investments for the building sector in the final infrastructure package

Thank you,
