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.

The Resilience Factor: Commercial Interiors, Climate Change, and Occupant Wellbeing / an AIAU course

    The Resilience Factor: Commercial Interiors, Climate Change, and Occupant Wellbeing

    AIAU course from Jonathan Penndorf, FAIA, of Perkins&Will and Pamela Albers of RS&H ...

    Every project, no matter the scale and scope, has the ability to impact the health, safety and welfare of the occupant. Resilience is not just about new building construction; principles of resilient design can be applied to commercial interiors projects from the real estate search, through design, and continuing into turnover and operations. This session will introduce participants to resilience and its application to the interiors market, including how the current state of design, construction, and real estate can be impacted by a focus on responsible, adaptive design.
