Good design can help create safer schools and healthier buildings. Good design can reduce energy costs and provide economic growth opportunities for communities. That’s why it’s so important that architects, engineers and contractors have a voice in local, state and national legislation. AIA Indiana is the voice of the design community and works to help shape legislation and public policy to protect communities and the built environment.
AIA supports:
2030 net zero energy goals, which AIA helped the federal government establish in 2007.
Streamlined building permit and review processes that protects a building’s integrity while also keeping costs down and minimize delays.
Rigorous standards for architectural licensing, which protects the health, safety and welfare of those who live, work and visit buildings.
Selection processes based on qualifications, not just price. AIA believes just like you wouldn’t want to choose a surgeon based on lowest costs, schools and government entities shouldn’t be bound to choose design professionals based solely on cost.
Livable, healthy communities with safe sidewalks, access to healthy food, greenspace, culture, recreation, access to affordable housing and transportation.
A business environment free of unnecessary taxes for professional services.
