Each year, the American Institute of Architects’ Committee on the Environment (AIA/COTE) awards the Top Ten Green Projects. Based on ten judging criteria, they select the 10 most sustainable new buildings here in the US. According to the AIA, the COTE Top Ten Green Projects program “celebrates structures that use a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology to provide architectural solutions which protect and enhance the environment. Entries are examined in regard to their design and innovation, integration with their community, land use and effect on site ecology, bioclimatic design, energy and water use, approach to light and air, materials and construction, long-life considerations, and feedback loops.”
