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.

    Hi Laurie - we hoped the first of the sessions would be released by now, but the pandemic stalled everyone a bit as we scrambled to work remotely. AIA CA partnered with Hanley Wood to produce these and we are hopeful we will see some of them in the next week or two.
