New Ecology, Inc.

Founded in 1999, New Ecology, Inc. (NEI) is nationally-recognized for its expertise in catalyzing the green building and sustainable design efforts of development projects. Our reputation is based on our focus on practical and cost effective strategies. We work with developers to achieve significant positive environmental and economic impact by emphasizing measures to reduce energy and water use, improve indoor air quality and occupant health, and make buildings more durable and less costly to maintain. We also work with building owners to analyze their building performance, track their energy use, and recommend improvements. We have pioneered the effort to use cost/benefit analysis to inform greening decisions and measure their impact. We have worked with financing agencies to help them understand how to incorporate sustainability criteria into their lending decisions. We have helped to train the next generation of practitioners through our relationships with MIT and Tufts graduate schools of planning, and disseminated much of what we have learned by conducting trainings, speaking at conferences, and publishing our findings.
