About The AIAPrograms & Initiatives
The Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) program brings together multidisciplinary teams of professionals from across the country to provide a road map for communities seeking to improve their sustainability—as defined by a community’s ability to meet the needs of today without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
2013 SDAT Application Packet Now Available!
The Center for Communities by Design is pleased to announce the release of the 2013 SDAT Application Packet. The final deadline to submit applications for consideration in the 2013 SDAT program is Friday, November 16, 2012. The SDAT Application Review Committee will convene twice to evaluate applications. The first evaluation will take place in early October; the Committee will review any applications received prior to October 12, 2012, and will accept those communities who meet the application standards at that time. The second review will occur in December 2012; the Committee will evaluate any applications not already reviewed and will accept additional applications into the 2013 cycle. Any applications received after the review period will be considered for the 2014 SDAT program. Please see below for successful applications and other associated resources from past SDAT communities.
