Climate change is one of the fundamental design problems of our time, and architects need the skills to help create attractive, resilient, high-performing buildings. In this engaging 75-minute course, presenters discuss the recently released AIA COTE® Top Ten Toolkit, their firms’ integrative design approaches, and how architects can persuade clients to incorporate strategies that achieve both design excellence and exceptional building performance.

The course starts with architects from three Bay Area COTE ® Top Ten award winners (LMS Architects, EHDD, and Siegel & Strain Architects) presenting short case studies that include a variety of high-impact, low-cost building performance strategies. Marsha Maytum, FAIA, LEED AP, of LMS Architects and the 2019 Chair of AIA National AIA COTE® then moderates an informative panel discussion with Tate Walker, AIA, LEED Fellow of OPN Architects, Corey Squire, AIA, of Lake | Flato Architects, Brad Jacobson, AIA, LEED AP BD+C of EHDD, and Susi Marzuola, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, of Siegel & Strain Architects about applying the AIA COTE® Top Ten Toolkit to projects of various scales.
