City of Boston’s Green Building Task Force
This website contains information on the mayor’s commitment to promoting LEED-certified buildings, grant applications, articles and case studies, meeting notes, and other information.
The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) promotes the understanding, development, and adoption of energy conservation and non-polluting, renewable energy technologies. The Renewable Energy Trust has funded NESEA’s Building Energy conference for the past four years.
The Green Roundtable is a Boston-based organization that provides training, seminars, strategic consulting, and other resources on green building in Massachusetts. In addition to their work with municipalities and projects around the state, the Roundtable recently opened NeXus, a first of its kind green building center in Boston's Downtown Crossing. This center, funded in part by the Renewable Energy Trust, features a library, exhibits, and other useful resources for green builders.
New Ecology: Green CDCs Program
New Ecology is a non-profit organization that develops green building education resources in partnership with a variety of organizations. One of its most prominent activities is the Green CDCs Initiative. CDCs (short for community development corporations) around the state can take advantage of technical and financial resources as well as a network of CDCs around Massachusetts that are incorporating green practices into affordable housing and other community projects.
