As a founding member of the 2030 Districts Network, the Pittsburgh 2030 District provides property partners access to the support and resources needed to reduce emissions, energy demand, and water use, while improving indoor air quality. The goal of the District is to reach a 50-65% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, with the goal of reaching zero emissions by 2040.
Founded in 2012, Pittsburgh is the largest of over 23 Districts across North America, including Philadelphia, Seattle, and Toronto.

Because buildings account for 42% of global CO2 emissions and 39% of all U.S. primary energy use, addressing the way we operate and maintain our buildings matters. The Pittsburgh 2030 District was formed to convene regional property managers and help them reduce emissions, decrease energy demand and water use, and improve indoor air quality, all while saving utility costs.
Properties that join the 2030 District make a nonbinding, good faith pledge to work toward a 50%-65% reduction in emissions by 2030 and a goal of zero emissions by 2040. In doing so, they gain access to GBA technical expertise, analysis of their building’s performance, education on best practices and market trends, and join a community of local building owners and operators.
GBA’s 2030 District programming includes educational sessions, case studies, demonstrations, tours and more on these topics and more:
beneficial electrification and transitioning to a cleaner grid
buying renewable energy credits (RECs)
adding on-site renewable energy sources such as solar
embodied carbon of building materials
refrigerants
adaptive reuse of buildings and materials in new construction and existing building renovations
thermal storage
Joining the Pittsburgh 2030 District also places you in a transformative movement that is uniting leading organizations in the region’s high growth industries and creating unprecedented collaboration between sectors, including healthcare, hospitality, higher education, and technology. This movement is continuing to grow through an expansion to Erie, PA in 2018 and future expansions planned for New Kensington, PA.
When you sponsor our 2030 District, you align yourself with the needs of our partners - your potential customers. One of GBA's most sought-after sponsorships, each opportunity comes with an invitation to join monthly Property Partner meetings for unique networking with industry decision-makers.
