As part of COTEnews this month, we invited Nakita Reed of QuinnEvans to write a few words about the COTE Top Ten Measure 9 -- Design for Change -- and she encourages "designers to recognize existing building stock as assets and leverage the embodied carbon already expended."

This measure is now part of the AIA Framework for Design Excellence (https://www.aia.org/resources/6077668-framework-for-design-excellence). The Framework, plus the AIA/COTE member-authored Toolkit and Super Spreadsheet are ready tools for firms of all sizes to use right now on projects of all types and scales in all regions and climates.
