Environmental Defense Fund Teams With Honest Buildings To Accelerate The Development Of High Performance Buildings
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) announced today that it is working with HonestBuildings.com (Honest Buildings) to accelerate the number of energy upgrades, renovations and sustainable building projects throughout the U.S.
As part of its “Energy Innovation Series,” every week EDF will select one project from Honest Buildings to feature on edf.org/energyinnovation and promote through the series’ social media channels. By showcasing the most innovative and effective energy efficiency projects, EDF and Honest Buildings are working together to raise awareness and accelerate market adoption of smarter and more energy efficient buildings.
“Collectively, we need to do more to tell the story behind what’s driving improvements in the built environment, which consumes 70% of electricity in the U.S. and emits more than a third of greenhouse gases,” said Jim Marston, vice president of EDF’s Energy Program. “By providing transparent information about buildings and their performance, we believe Honest Buildings is a powerful platform to do just that.”
With over 52,000 buildings (10 billion square feet), including every ENERGYSTAR® and LEED certified building in the U.S., the rapidly growing website helps people find and share information about buildings, their owners, their occupants and the people who service them. For energy efficiency vendors and service providers, Honest Buildings is an ideal platform to showcase their work, connect with clients and generate new business.
“By connecting occupants, service providers and owners, we are catalyzing the conversations that lead to innovation,” said Riggs Kubiak, CEO of Honest Buildings. “We’re thrilled to be working with EDF to showcase these innovative projects and to help them scale all over the world.”
