GreenHomeNYC is a community — we’re all New Yorkers working toward making our buildings and our lives greener. We hope you’ll join us!

Here are some ways you can get involved right away:

Sign up for the GreenHomeNYC newsletter:

We’ll send you an email about once a month to tell you about up-coming events. Of course, we never share your email address with anyone.

Come to the next Monthly Forum:

GreenHomeNYC’s Monthly Forums are held every third Wednesday of the month. The topic changes from month to month, but with a few exceptions, are focused on green building topics directly related to New York City and its residents. You’ll see presentations by some of the most knowledgeable folks when it comes to energy efficiency, green design, water and waste management, and public policy — and then you’ll have a chance to ask them questions. View past forum information to get an idea of the range of topics we cover.

Learn about NYC’s green buildings:

In 2003 when we started keeping a list of green buildings in New York, we were pretty sure we knew about all of them. Now, there are green buildings all over the city! You can read about them online, then join us for the next NYC Green Buildings Open House to visit some of them and hear their owners, designers, and engineers give you the inside scoop.

Thinking about a green career? Become a NESEA member:

The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) is a leading membership organization of green professionals. Becoming a member of NESEA is a great way to network, and NESEA is known to provide some of the best green building trainings in the country.  GreenHomeNYC is New York City’s local chapter of NESEA, so when you join, a part of your membership dues will come back to support GreenHomeNYC!

Schedule a House Call for your co-op or condo:

GreenHomeNYC volunteers will come to your co-op or condo board meeting to give a short presentation about what your building can do to be more energy-efficient. Our house calls volunteers are not selling any products or services — just helping you start down the road toward greening your building. Email erik AT greenhomenyc.org for more information.

Become a GreenHomeNYC Staff Volunteer:

GreenHomeNYC’s programs are all organized and managed by our incredibly dedicated staff volunteers. Volunteering for any organization involves commitment, and our volunteers are extra special because we have no full-time paid staff, so it’s 100% a labor of love. Email erik AT greenhomenyc.org if you’re interested in joining our team.
