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.

ULI releases report / toolkit about electrification + webinar on June 30

    Urban Land Institute's Greenprint Center for Building Performance have released a new report: "The Movement to All-Electric Real Estate." This shows how the commercial real estate industry can shift toward a decarbonized future by moving to all-electric buildings.

    As more cities pass fossil gas bans or carbon emissions reductions targets, and as tenants and residents demand healthy and sustainable spaces, the move to all-electric real estate is an important consideration for all buildings.

    #Electrification is improving real estate's bottom line, future-proofing portfolios, attracting high quality tenants, lowering building emissions, and improving the health and safety of building occupants.
