To meet the climate realities we face as a country, our residential real estate marketplace must begin to recognize both the elements of homes that create climate risk, and the characteristics of homes that provide climate solutions.
Our Work
Home Data
We are enabling the disclosure of verified climate-related information in residential real estate transactions.
Home Standards
We are delivering the use of credible, nationally-recognized and locally-applicable standards that document the climate and health impacts of a home.
Professional Training
We are advancing the development of a knowledgeable and diverse workforce to help build, remodel, sell, and lease climate-friendly homes.
Climate Justice
We are addressing climate vulnerability through direct services, advocacy, and finance system reform.
