The building sector is responsible for roughly 40% of energy used in the United States and more than one-third of the carbon emissions.
We remain committed to the same goal since our founding in 1997: accelerate adoption of best practices in energy performance for the built environment. Almost all of the resources we provide as a thinktank nonprofit – research, reports, webinars and more – are available for free to help move the building sector toward full decarbonization. Your donation to support our work can help us continue to keep sharing these vital resources at no cost.
