Designing for Sustainability

Welcome to the AIA New Jersey COTE East Coast Green Virtual Conference

This year’s theme, Designing for Sustainability, explores how architects, designers, engineers, and industry leaders are creating healthier, more resilient, and environmentally responsible communities through the power of design.

Presented by the AIA New Jersey Committee on the Environment (COTE), this annual conference brings together sustainability professionals and forward-thinking practitioners for a dynamic series of sessions focused on climate-responsive design, regenerative strategies, energy efficiency, decarbonization, adaptive reuse, and the future of sustainable practice.

Sessions are currently being reviewed for AIA LU/HSW and GBCI credits.
