AIA Rochester Design Awards - SEPTEMBER 25th

We can't be in the same room for Design Awards this year, but we can still share a toast! Concoct a signature cocktail recipe to be featured at our Design Awards Virtual Happy Hour. We can make and enjoy the signature beverage together at home while we toast our winners.

Consider designing your cocktail's name to include 2020 buzzwords such as "pandemic" or "virus," or to address the new sustainability (green!) aspect of our Awards.

Snap a photo and post to Instagram with the hashtag #AIAROCtail2020 (be sure your profile is public). Include your drink's name and recipe in the comments. Entries may also be emailed to lbhewitt@aiaroc.org. All entries due by Friday September 18, 2020.

Winner receives bragging rights, a certificate, and a prize. Visit https://www.aiaroc.org/2020-design-awards for more information about our Design Awards.

AIA COTE Knowledge Community

Getting to net zero

In 2007, the AIA helped set the Federal 2030 Net Zero Energy Goals. Today, we continue to push for ways to achieve and surpass them.

This includes preserving Section 433 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), which cost-effectively improves energy performance for federal buildings, and leading the fight to protect energy efficiency incentives like the 179D tax deduction. On the state and local levels, we are guiding governments and communities toward effective green building incentives. READ MORE
