New Haven, CT – BuildGreenCT – the joined forces of the Connecticut Green Building Council (CTGBC), Connecticut Passive House (CTPH), and Living Future Connecticut – is celebrating its one-year anniversary.
The organization is holding a Birthday Benefit on Dec. 5 to support its mission to accelerate the just and sustainable transformation of the built environment through its year-round advocacy work; educational programs for 2025, including the Green Building Awards; and strategic investments the organization is continuing to make to support its unified and expanded sustainability community, including a member directory.
Representatives say this unification signifies a pivotal moment in these organizations’ journey, building on their strong history of collaboration, the unique strengths of each organization, and the collective aspirations to meet this all-hands-on-deck moment. The new brand name reflects the core identity of the organization and its aspirations for Connecticut: Educate – Advocate – Empower – Thrive.
BuildGreenCT offers multiple options for people to engage with the organization as a whole and/or through communities based on green building standards and different areas of emphasis related to its mission. Presently, there are six communities: CT Passive House, Connecticut LEED, Living Future CT, Green Homes, and Advocacy & Equity.
“This merger and new brand identity reflect our shared passion, commitment, and aspirations to promote sustainability and green building at this all-hands-on-deck moment. By coming together as a unified organization, we will amplify the impact of our programming and advocacy to our members, sponsors, partners, and the community at large,” said Alicia Dolce, executive director of BuildGreenCT (formerly CTGBC), co-founder of Connecticut Passive House (CTPH).
