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.

    DGNB-#COP26-Tip-No. 5: How to reach a #ZeroCarbon built environment [free Master Class]
     
    The time for half measures and outdated targets is over if we are to stop the irreparable destruction of our cities, towns, and natural environments. How difficult is designing to zero carbon today? Not difficult at all, says Edward Mazria (Architecture 2030). In his talk on November 29 he will deliver a riveting presentation on the road to zero emissions, outline the three steps to zero-carbon buildings and the transformation underway in the U.S and global built environments.
     
     
    The event is part of the Master Classes organised by the global Building Sense Now initiative and Misereor. In addition to the keynote lecture, there will be space for questions. The event is free of charge.
