Building Innovation Hub
The Building Innovation Hub (Hub) helps building industry professionals in and around Washington, DC create and operate high-performing buildings. It is a project of the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT), a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that specializes in driving demand for high-performing buildings.
The goal for the Hub is to meet the current needs of the building industry while simultaneously pushing it towards the innovative solutions that we will need to build and operate high-performing buildings. To do this, the Hub provides resources and connections to help building owners, operators, designers, contractors, and tenants improve their buildings. They highlights market leaders, educate decision-makers on rising trends, assist in making critical connections, clarify regulatory requirements—such as those from the Building Energy Performance Standards and the new local building codes—and break down barriers to making building improvements with sustained impact. Through this work, the Building Innovation Hub helps ensure the District remains a highly competitive market and a leader in sustainable and equitable building practices.
The Hub is part of the Building Performance Partnership (BPP), a growing network of independent energy efficiency hubs across the globe dedicated to reducing the effects of climate change by improving the built environment. With support from both the Building Energy Exchange (BE-Ex) and the Institute for Market Transformation, partner hubs serve their respective regions with customized resources that cater to the needs of their communities while benefitting from the existing resources and expertise of our network.
