The American Institute of Architects[2] (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) has announced this year’s recipients of the COTE Top Ten Awards.

To be eligible, project submissions are required to demonstrate alignment with COTE’s rigorous criteria, 10 measures that include social, economic, and ecological values. The five-member jury evaluates each project submission based on the effectiveness of their holistic design solution and metrics associated with the 10 measures.
