How to Participate in the Program

The High Performance Buildings initiative helps produce some of the lowest energy consuming commercial buildings in the United States. Our work transforms how buildings are designed and operated by uniting innovative building design strategies and technologies with the design process. We strive to achieve 70% energy savings in their buildings based on current building code. We publish brochures and online case studies that highlight the energy-saving features of our partner's buildings. We also write technical papers about our projects.

We also collect information on all low-energy buildings worldwide. Please enter information about your low-energy building into the High Performance Buildings Database. A technical review team will review the information before publishing a case study on the building.
