AIA Rochester announces openings for our 2021 Board of Directors. Each position is a two year commitment (Vice President becomes the 2022 President).

Where We Live/Work - SURVEY RESULTS

With our Spring Survey we have attempted to thread a needle, aiming our camera from well above your desks to take a snapshot of what an architectural designer looks like in 2020 - just 101 years after the formation of AIA Rochester. You would not find any women in that 1919 founding-meeting daguerreotype and surely no nonwhite people. The influences on their designs would have been largely European.

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
