我们的首份可持续发展影响报告
2024年4月 / 首份可持续发展影响报告
MG2 非常荣幸地发布首份 2023 年可持续发展影响报告。这份年度报告将衡量我们每年在实现以下目标方面取得的进展： AIA 2030承诺 我们的目标是到 2030 年实现碳中和。采取这一举措有助于我们实现对客户、行业以及我们生活和工作所在社区的透明度和问责制目标。本报告展示了我们在设计和项目工作方面取得的进展，并计算了我们的企业碳排放量。
可持续发展一直是MG2理念的一部分，我们于2020年正式加入AIA 2030承诺并发布了首份可持续发展行动计划，从而确立了我们在可持续发展方面的立场。通过这份2023年可持续发展影响报告，我们借此机会完善了计划，并利用了新的工具和流程。作为该计划的一部分，我们为公司设定了四个目标：
目标 1：
运行能量
我们专注于提升建筑性能，旨在降低建筑运行所需的能源消耗。在新建筑中，这包括建筑的供暖和制冷、照明、插座负载等。对于零售租户装修（TI），我们主要关注照明功率密度，即每平方英尺的光输出量。
目标 2:
隐含碳
该目标涵盖新建建筑或零售店面装修所需的所有建筑材料。每种材料都有一个相关的全球变暖潜能值 (GWP)，该值考虑了材料的开采、制造过程、运输到施工现场以及建筑施工的整个过程，即所谓的“从摇篮到大门”。我们计算建筑中材料的用量（通常基于 Revit 模型），并应用 GWP 值来确定二氧化碳排放量（以公吨计）。2 建筑物的使用量。减少这个数字需要我们在设计和材料方面提高效率。
目标 3:
材料采购
许多材料制造商会为其产品提供环境产品声明 (EPD)。这一目标强调了在采购或指定材料时收集 EPD 的重要性。除了 AIA 2030 承诺之外，我们也很荣幸地签署了以下协议： 美国建筑师协会材料承诺作为设计师，我们的职责是让客户更深入地了解材料的构成，并在选择材料时为客户提供“好、更好、最好”的选择。
目标 4:
水利
水是我们最宝贵的资源之一。我们会计算并追踪灌溉用水和室内用水量。无论您身在何处，水资源都日益稀缺，而作为设计师，我们有责任实施创新的解决方案。
不衡量就无法改进，而我们公司始终挑战自我，力求做得更好。在项目的每个设计阶段，从概念开发到施工图设计，我们都会持续追踪上述目标的数据。每个设计团队都负责在设计过程中收集和评估数据，并寻找提高效率的方法。
