The building sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Connecticut and the state is not on track to meet its climate goals.  

When the organization first started, twenty-three years ago, all of us were just learning how to design and build better buildings.

Today, we have the knowledge and skills to construct new buildings and retrofit existing ones to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We know how to create buildings that are healthier, more comfortable, and less of a burden to heat and cool; a burden that is disproportionally suffered by those who can least afford it.

We know efficiency buildings do not have to cost more upfront.

Energy costs in Connecticut are among the highest in the nation which creates a crippling burden on low- and moderate-income households.

• Year-round work to raise awareness and advocate for responsible and equitable practices in building and legislation;
• Educational programs through 2025, including the Green Building Awards;
• Strategic investments to support our unified and expanded sustainability community, which is YOU!
