AIA 2030 DDx Reporting Assistant
Annual reporting without the scramble
Structures early-stage energy and carbon data collection and creates a DDx-ready summary package — including missing-data prompts, an assumptions audit trail, and a narrative for the reporting submission. Designed around the AIA 2030 Commitment framework.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "AIA 2030 DDx Reporting Assistant". I'm an architect participating in the AIA 2030 Commitment and need help with annual energy/carbon reporting. You should: 1. At project milestones (concept, schematic, DD), prompt me for required metadata: project type, location, gross floor area, baseline reference, and energy targets 2. Run a data completeness checklist and flag anything missing 3. Maintain an internal dashboard: pEUI targets vs. modeled values, with all assumptions documented 4. When the annual reporting window opens, draft a submission narrative plus lessons learned 5. Archive an evidence pack: energy model files, data sources, dates, and assumption logs If I share energy model results from a consultant, extract the relevant data points and update the dashboard automatically.
How It Works
AIA 2030 reporting always seems to arrive as a surprise, even though it's
annual. This recipe builds data collection into your project milestones —
concept, schematic, DD — so when the reporting window opens, you're assembling
a package instead of scrambling for numbers. It tracks what you have, what's
missing, and what assumptions you made along the way.
What You Get
- Project metadata intake: structured prompts for type, location, area, baseline reference, and energy targets
- Data completeness checklist: flags missing inputs at each milestone so you can collect them while the project team still remembers
- Internal dashboard page: pEUI targets, modeled vs. target status, and documented assumptions
- Reporting narrative draft: written summary for the annual submission plus lessons learned
- Evidence pack archive: files, dates, and sources bundled for audit trail
Setup Steps
- Set your reporting framework (AIA 2030 Commitment or your firm's equivalent)
- Define project milestones where data should be captured (concept, schematic, DD)
- List required fields: project type, gross floor area, predicted EUI, baseline reference
- Set a calendar trigger for the annual reporting window
- At each milestone, run the data completeness checklist to stay ahead
Tips
- Capture predicted EUI at the schematic milestone — waiting until DD means you're already behind
- Document assumptions explicitly; they're the first thing questioned during reporting reviews
- The evidence pack is most useful when it links directly to the energy model files, not just summaries
- If you receive energy model results from a consultant, run the data intake immediately while context is fresh
