New Ecology, Inc.

New Ecology, Inc.’s mission is to catalyze sustainable development and bring its benefits to underserved populations, and to maintain a focus on acting locally to address global environmental issues. We work in many areas of community-based sustainable development, but we devote most of our efforts to green affordable housing. Our focus is on the practical and cost-effective: making new and existing buildings efficient, durable and healthy. Areas of Practice: Greening the New Construction of Affordable Housing; Greening Existing Affordable Housing and Community Buildings; Provide consulting services to non-profit and for-profit clients in the area of sustainable development, green building, and integrated design. Impact: New Ecology, Inc. works on 40-50 new construction projects each year and in the last 10 years has greened over 8,000 units of newly-constructed and rehabilitated multifamily housing and has also helped owners articulate and achieve their sustainability goals in schools, day-care centers, health care facilities, office buildings and community centers. Our Massachusetts Green Retrofit Initiative program has benchmarked 11,270 units, conducted assessments on 257 buildings totaling 5,410 units, and identified over $19,000,000 in potential energy and water retrofits with estimated savings in excess of $2,000,000 annually. To date NEI has assisted owners in implementing over $14 Million of these retrofits.
