Past Events

BuildingEnergy Boston is a conference designed by and for practitioners in the fields of high-performance building and design, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. It brings more than 1,000 industry leaders and emerging professionals together to learn from and share ideas with each other. Sessions are curated by a volunteer NESEA-Member content committee to ensure that conference sessions are genuinely useful to attendees. The conference will feature product demonstrations, networking events, and accredited sessions that offer best practices and lessons learned, case studies and proven data, technical "how-to"s, emerging technologies, and innovative policies and programs.

Join NESEA for the final Pro Tour of 2024: a passive house-certified, 185,000 square-foot building, providing 160 units of much-needed affordable housing to the neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn.

You’re invited to a 2-site Pro Tour in Burlington, Vermont! Our hosts, New Frameworks, will be opening both their shop and a project so that attendees can see how their innovative, low-carbon modular projects come together, from factory floor to completed build.

This session will explore how to revitalize and optimize ventilation systems in existing multi-family buildings in New York to bring older, inefficient, and poorly performing ventilation systems in compliance with today’s standards for energy and indoor air quality. The session will include an overview of available financing and energy efficiency incentives to support these projects.

In early November, NESEA will be offering our first Pro Tour in the Catskills, showcasing a new construction single-family passive house with its first years’ of performance data.
