What is AIA Design Data Exchange (DDx)
The AIA Design Data Exchange (DDx) is an online platform designed for ongoing reporting to support the 2030 Challenge. This initiative motivates AEC professionals to enhance building energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, thereby mitigating environmental impacts. DDx offers a standardized reporting framework that enables projects and firms to meet and surpass the AIA 2030 reduction targets.
