The projects honored in the annual AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Projects program represent the best in sustainable design and recognize architects as experts in the creation of energy-conscious, environmentally responsible design solutions. The program also educates the architectural community and the public at large about the increased value that high-performance, sustainable design provides for developers, building owners, and occupants.
