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.

    Please note and please share:

    A call for projects is open for a pilot effort funded through the American Institute of Architects Upjohn Research Initiative. The goal of the pilot is to identify new approaches to streamlining the real estate development process by centering community goals for climate, health, and equity. Its results will be compiled into a framework report with nationwide relevance. The effort is being spearheaded by Adele Houghton -- an architect and Doctor of Public Health candidate at Harvard.
