Through training, guidance, advocacy, and collaboration with public authorities and organizations, it encourages architects to integrate environmental performance, energy renovation, climate adaptation, and resilience into building projects. The organization also supports energy audits, sustainable construction practices, and the development of low-carbon, resource-efficient, and climate-resilient buildings and communities.
