From the New Buildings Institute...
Net Zero Buildings Week is back! Join us on social media this week, June 12-16, 2023, to promote the benefits of net zero and low-carbon buildings.
Showcase your resources, thought-leadership, art, memes, and more to help us collectively imagine how the built environment can be a solution to climate change in all communities.
Participate by registering to join us here and then we will follow up with content, graphic templates, ideas, and more as we get closer to the event. Sharing the week of is as easy as posting your content and then including the campaign hashtag, #Decarb4Good. We have the power to create a equitable, clean energy future by working together in our communities. So we ask, how will you bring about the decarbonized future we need right now?
Let’s get started!
