Join AIA Baltimore’s Committee on the Environment (COTE/R) for a recap of the 2026 Maryland legislative session. The presentation will be led by Chris Parts, AIA, Principal at Hord Coplan Macht and AIA Maryland Legislative committee chair. The presentation will center on legislation that impacts the built environment and the practice of architecture including bills that passed, bills that didn’t pass, and what we might see come back for the 2027 legislative session. The program will conclude with a brief discussion with Ben Roush, PE, Principal at FSi Engineers, and AIA Baltimore COTE|R co-chair, on the Maryland Green Building Council. The Council assists the Governor and General Assembly on reviews and recommendations regarding green building legislation and promotes green building throughout Maryland’s government and private sector. Ben will present on updates to the Maryland High Performance Green Building Program taking effect in April for all electric buildings and LEED v5.
