What we do

Since 2002, GreenHomeNYC has been connecting NYC residents with local experts and actionable information to help them improve the energy and environmental performance of their homes and buildings.

GreenHomeNYC uses a peer-learning model that brings together interested volunteers to organize our programs, and to learn and teach others about green building in New York City.

Over the years, the number and variety of volunteer-driven initiatives to provide free and low-cost public programs and web-based resources have grown in response to the increasing public profile of green building as an essential part of improving New York City’s sustainability. Today, the activities of GreenHomeNYC span the following four areas:

Activity: Free and Low-Cost Public Programs

The Public Programs team organizes GreenHomeNYC’s events that provide opportunities to see green buildings at work and learn from the experiences of residents and experts alike.

Public Program Initiatives

  • Green Buildings Open House & Tours: The New York City edition of the National Solar Tour
  • Monthly Forum: Presentations by green building pros — always free and open to the public
  • House Calls: On-demand information sessions for co-op and condo boards
  • Special Events / Materials Library: Tabling and other events and the “traveling menagerie” of green materials

Activity: Web-based Information & Resources

The Web Information Resources team organizes GreenHomeNYC’s efforts to provide timely and actionable information to NYC residents via the Web. It also responds to press inquiries about NYC green buildings.
