Description
The mission of the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) is to promote energy efficiency, green building and environmental protection in the United States and abroad. The organization's activities include technical and market research, educational outreach, and the crafting of building codes and other policy and program initiatives. IMT works to strengthen linkages among property value, green building and energy performance.
Internationally, IMT is working under contract with the United Nations Development Programme to promote energy efficiency in the building sectors of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the Kyrgyz Republic.
The term "market transformation" encompasses various strategies for the creation of permanent, self-sustaining success of energy-efficient technologies in the marketplace. In contrast with traditional energy efficiency programs, which have focused on piecemeal procurement and installation of efficient technology, market transformation offers a strategic approach to shift entire market sectors toward a more efficient product mix. Market transformation programs may focus on stimulation of consumer demand as well as supplier innovation. The goal of market transformation is to change standard business practices. In the United States and other nations, market transformation has a growing track record of successful synergy with energy codes and standards.
IMT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. IMT was founded in 1996.
