MISSION |
COTE is charged with maintaining an essential level of involvement in environmental and energy-related areas. It reflects the profession's commitment to providing healthy and safe environments for people to live and work in, and is dedicated to preserving the Earth's capability of sustaining human existence. As an open committee--that is, one that invites non-AIA member participation--COTE will provide the AIA with a body of knowledge on environmental and energy-related issues and advise the Institute on related policy matters affecting the practice of architecture nationwide. The Committee supports cooperation with manufacturers, government agencies, environmental organizations, and industry groups in developing and testing environmentally sound materials. |
