What it reported doing in 2024
Programming that provides education and resources for the advanced practitioner to the uninitiated: - a wide span of green building topics including in-person project tours and virtual training that illuminates science-based design and advanced construction techniques to achieve various high-performance and sustainability goals. - northeast summit for a sustainable built environment (nessbe) conference that engages a broad community of building professionals, owners, academics, policymakers, advocates, and students in conversations about energy and environmental justice in the built environment. - green building awards to recognize excellence in intelligently designed and constructed high-performance buildings/sites that also promote health, well-being, comfort, and equity. - an on-demand video training library on passive house, leed, building electrification, and other high-performance design and construction principles. Advocacy: to drive change at scale, we work to raise public awareness of the role that buildings play in climate change as well as their potential to reduce climate impacts, improve health, comfort, and well-being. Community building: we spark change by fostering connection, camaraderie, and collaboration among a cross-disciplinary community of members and diverse stakeholders who come together through a wide range of educational and networking events or through various knowledge and interest-based communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
