Washington, D.C. – April 22, 2016 — The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and its Committee on the Environment (COTE) have selected the top 10 examples of sustainable architecture and ecological design projects that protect and enhance the environment.
The projects will be honored at the 2016 AIA Convention in Philadelphia, which runs May 19-21.
The COTE Top Ten Awards program, now in its 20th year, is the profession's most rigorous recognition program for sustainable design excellence. The program celebrates projects that are the result of a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology.
By conducting an in-depth study of nearly 200 COTE Top Ten Award winning projects encompassing almost 20 years in the recently released report "Lessons from the Leading Edge," it was determined that design projects recognized through this program are outpacing the industry by virtually every standard of performance.
