We seek to accelerate regional collaboration to promote advanced energy efficiency and related solutions in homes, buildings, industry, and communities.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Efficient and Resilient Buildings & Communities
NEEP works through regional collaboration, engaging state and local governments, industry and manufacturers, efficiency programs, and other leaders across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region to develop and advance scalable energy efficiency solutions. NEEPs programming focuses on the components key to rapid, equitable decarbonization of the regional buildings sector strong policies and regulations to address building emissions, market transformation for electric space and water heating, community-led solutions, and replicable program and business models for low-carbon retrofits. Embedded in each of these is workforce development and equity.
Our focus includes:
* Public Policy and Programs
* Building Energy Codes and Appliance Standards
* Community Solutions
* Technology Market Transformation

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We envision the regions homes, buildings, and communities transformed into efficient, affordable, low-carbon, and resilient places to live, work, and play. Our goal is to assist the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to equitably and affordably reduce building-sector greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with their goals.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our approach drives regional market transformation by:
* Engaging and Empowering Stakeholders: NEEP forges partnerships and brings stakeholders together to develop, advance, accelerate, and integrate next generation energy efficiency solutions with coordinated efforts, regional learning and resource leveraging.
* Advancing Regional Market Transformation Opportunities: NEEP engages support for, recommends, tracks and reports progress of regional market transformation initiatives that drive innovative and integrated energy efficient solutions to decarbonize homes and buildings.
* Providing Independent Analysis and Technical Expertise: NEEP conducts independent analysis and serves as a technical expert on energy efficiency potential, best practices, impacts, evaluation, and integration with other low-carbon demand side resources essential to a low-carbon future.
* Advancing Knowledge and Best Practices: NEEP develops and distributes regional best practice information resources, and serves as a regional peer exchange network to advance building sector energy efficiency and decarbonization.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
NEEP is uniquely positioned at the intersection of those that advocate, implement, research, develop, and promote modern efficient energy solutions essential for a low-carbon future. Working openly to create learning opportunities and trust, NEEP engages, empowers, educates, and inspires stakeholders across the region to accelerate market adoption of innovative technologies, high performance and zero energy buildings, advanced building energy standards, and public policies that prioritize efficiency as a key strategy to economically reduce building carbon emissions. After 25 years, we remain a trusted advisor on best practices to accelerate efficiency on a regional scale.
