Founded in 1997, New Buildings Institute (NBI) is a nonprofit organization working to improve the energy performance of commercial buildings.

We work collaboratively with commercial building market players—governments, utilities, energy efficiency advocates and building professionals—to remove barriers to energy efficiency, including promoting advanced design practices, improved technologies, public policies and programs that improve energy efficiency. We also develop and offer guidance to individuals and organizations on designing and constructing energy-efficient buildings through our Advanced Buildings® suite of tools and resources.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) is an independent, non-partisan nonprofit that drives the efficient and restorative use of resources. Co-founded in 1982 by Amory Lovins, its Chairman Emeritus and Chief Scientist, RMI now has approximately 80 full-time staff, annual operations of $16 million, and a global reach and reputation. RMI

advances market-based solutions, engaging businesses, communities, and institutions to cost-effectively shift to efficiency and renewables.

We then convene and collaborate with diverse partners—business, government, academic, nonprofit, philanthropic, and military—to accelerate and scale solutions.

About The Rocky Mountain Institute

WHO WILL BE THERE?Attendees represent industry “change makers” who will drive the innovation, policy and practice necessary to dramatically improve the energy performance of buildings all the way to net zero. Zero net energy (ZNE) buildings produce at least as much energy as they consume over the course of a year.

300+ leading policymakers—federal, state and local representatives—from across North America will be joined by design professionals, program managers, building owners, operators, CRE professionals and others.

40+ speakers will share perspectives on the growth of zero net energy policies and projects and begin planning for the future of these extremely efficient buildings.
