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.

Building Electrification Technology Roadmap: study & webinar

  • 1.  Building Electrification Technology Roadmap: study & webinar

    Posted 02-04-2021 03:41 PM

    Energy production and delivery to CA buildings are a leading source of air pollution and climate-changing emissions. Homes and commercial buildings must be electrified for the state to meet its public health and climate goals. The transformation will require incentives, innovation, and education about all-electric technologies. A new study from the New Buildings Institute in partnership with the Building Decarbonization Coalition lays the groundwork for the work ahead. 

     

    The Building Electrification Technology Roadmap (BETR) is a first-of-its-kind study focused on accelerating adoption of highly efficient electric technologies that displace fossil fuel technologies. The study takes a comprehensive look at electrification technology options across various residential and commercial building types. The study looks at numerous technologies and roadblocks facing them, plus recommendations on how to accelerate market adoption.
