Boston's E+ Green Building Program

The E+ Green Building Program has challenged leading architects, builders, and developers to work together to design and construct high performance, green, urban homes and to demonstrate the feasibility of regenerative buildings in Boston.

Boston, a national leader in green building, will demonstrate the feasibility of regenerative multi-unit residential buildings and bring energy and environmentally positive homes to Boston’s neighborhoods.

Objectives:

Feasibility
Demonstrates the performance, construction, and financial potential for locally built, energy positive, deep green, urban buildings with on-site renewable energy resources.

Future Prototype
Construct high performance, green buildings using “on-the-shelf” products and materials, and replicable strategies that can serve as models for future practice.

Housing Opportunities
Provide new housing opportunities affordable to a range of income earners in sustainable neighborhoods that are connected to nearby transit, work, and community amenities.

Awareness
Raise public and professional awareness of the importance and potential for high performance, residential, green buildings and design and construction practices.

Urban Design
Reinvigorate Boston neighborhoods with new development that is both expressive of its high performance, green building features and is respectful of its context.
