AN IRRESISTIBLE, SKY-LIT STAIR ASCENDS ALL EIGHT LEVELS OF THE MILKEN INSTITUTE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, A 2017 COTE TOP TEN RECIPIENT. ARCHITECT: PAYETTE
The COTE (Committee on the Environment) Top Ten Awards is
the industry’s best-known award program for sustainable design excellence. Each
year, ten innovative projects are recognized for their integration of design
excellence with environmental performance.
Until 2017, COTE Top Ten recognized ten projects
based largely on predicted performance. The measures and metrics were
entirely revamped in 2017 and now emphasize the importance of actual
performance in addition to design intent. Any number of the ten recipients may receive a COTE Top Ten Plus designation which denotes projects with exemplary actual
performance and post-occupancy lessons. Previous COTE Top Ten recipients are
ineligible to submit.
But the COTE Top Ten is more than an award for a few exemplary projects—it’s a framework firms can use to guide the design of every project in their design portfolio.
A detailed overview of the COTE Top Ten measures and award criteria can be found in the 2018 Call for Entries. Is it your first time submitting? Watch the recording of our recent webinar discussing the processes and documentation that support a successful submission.
