New Ecology addresses global environmental issues by bringing the benefits of sustainable development to the community level with a concerted emphasis on equity. We make the built environment more efficient, healthy, and resilient by advancing sustainable practices, ensuring accessible, affordable, and healthy environments in which to live and work.
As a nonprofit organization with 25 years of experience in affordable housing and sustainable developments, New Ecology advances programs that meet the needs of residents and communities while reducing carbon impacts. Our Green Building Services team advances the impact of sustainable development in new affordable multifamily housing by helping developers and their teams construct these residential or mixed-use buildings in a way that is healthy, affordable, resilient, and accessible to the communities they serve. Our Existing Building Decarbonization team transforms existing housing stock by working with owners and operators of multifamily affordable housing to pursue practical strategies for building decarbonization over time, reducing impacts and controlling costs while increasing sustainability. Our Climate Smart Communities program catalyzes local community development initiatives to deliver not only affordable housing and opportunities to build equity, but homes that offer improved indoor air quality and which are designed and built to withstand what we expect from our changing climate. We also have a Research and Development initiative that innovates and creates new opportunities for technologies, processes, and approaches that can make sustainable development in the built environment more efficient, cost-effective, and impactful.
