AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Building Projects of 2008Every year we look forward to the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment's (AIA/COTE) top picks for the best green building projects of the year. This year's selections are a showcase of sustainable design approaches that balance functional aesthetics with environmental consciousness. Each winning design has been evaluated under a comprehensive list of measures from community connectivity, to energy efficiency, to longevity of purpose. Those that have risen to the top of the AIA/COTE list for 2008 are examples of successful programs that, through extensive collaboration, have achieved low-impact structures that fuse architectural excellence with environmental stewardship.1
