Who we are

The Committee on the Environment (COTE®) is an AIA Knowledge Community working for architects, allied professionals, and the public to achieve climate action and climate justice through design. We believe that design excellence is the foundation of a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future. Our work promotes design strategies that empower all AIA members to realize the best social and environmental outcomes with the clients and the communities they serve.

    Cognitive Function Test Scores Doubled - The COGfx Study
    The COGfx Study demonstrated that improved indoor environmental quality doubled cognitive function test scores. Of note, employees' cognitive performance scores averaged 101 percent higher in green buildings with enhanced ventilation compared to those in conventional buildings. The largest improvements in cognitive function occurred with crisis response, information usage and strategy.
