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.

    This is really valuable distillation and analysis about policy for the building sector. Bravo, Lindsay Baker, and thank you.

    Lindsay Baker asks: Would the new Climate Action Plans transform the #buildings and #realestate sectors? Find out in my new #climatepolicy piece, breaking down the three major plans (Biden, House and Evergreen Action) SPECIFIC TO BUILDINGS. And thanks to those who helped me learn for this piece- Sara Neff, David Heinzerling, PE, Kevin Powell, and Leah Stokes via her new book.
