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.

  • 1.  Updating GSA's P100

    Posted 08-10-2023 04:06 PM
    As many architects on this list design GSA buildings and have intimate knowledge of P100, I would like to invite you to provide updates for the next version to be released in 2024.  GSA is the owner of 9 AIA COTE Top Ten Awarded buildings and would like to continue to push sustainable performance for an inventory that we expect to own for over 100+ years.  

    P100 is GSA's Facilities Standards and is used to set the performance and prescriptive requirements for GSA's owned inventory and certain lease-construct projects.  

    Please find attached the  P100 Change Proposal Form.  

    From August 1 through October 1, the form will be active and allow users to propose changes to the latest edition of P100 found at www.gsa.gov/p100.

     

    You may direct questions to lance.davis@gsa.gov 

     

    Sincerely,
