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.

SURVEY: How do you use climate projection data? respond by 15 September

SURVEY: How do you use climate projection data?  

Architecture and Engineering (A&E) professionals are well-positioned to advance climate adaptation innovations and high-value services through the effective use of climate information and data. Sources of this information are becoming more widely available, yet they are often not well-suited for immediate A&E applications. 
 
The University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) and HGA Architects and Engineers invite you to take this 15-minute survey by 15 September 2022 to gather input on how you and your organization identify, obtain, and apply climate information and data within the A&E field of practice. 

Results from this survey will be summarized in a report and will inform the creation of dedicated professional development opportunities for A&E professionals. More broadly, survey results will articulate the needs of A&E professionals to advance climate adaptation services.
