~ The Building Energy Exchange (BEEx) is an independent nonprofit driving energy efficiency in the built environment through our first of its kind resource center, in downtown Manhattan. ~

We act as a hub for activities that help building owners, operators, and designers save money and reduce pollution and carbon emissions through energy efficiency measures. We provide education, exhibits, targeted research and critical tools to advance the energy efficiency of buildings, directly supporting the City and the State's ambitious climate action plans.

The Exchange is both a place and an objective. We deliver our own programming while also providing a neutral setting for the exchange of ideas and progressive discourse. The Exchange delivers diverse programming, networking opportunities, and actionable information of best practices and technologies.
